Partition Element
Attributes
| Attribute | API Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | String | Specifies the name of the object. This name can be used to reference this object from anywhere else in the program. This is a required property | |
| AggregationDesignName | AstAggregationDesignNode | This value specifies a direct reference to the aggregation design for this partition. This references an existing definiton. | |
| AggregationPrefix | String | This value specifies the string prefix that should be used in the names of tables used for aggregation. | |
| CurrentStorageMode | StorageMode | Molap | This value specifies the current OLAP storage mode for the partition. |
| EstimatedRows | Int64 | 0 | This value indicates the estimated number of items in the partition. The default setting is zero. This value is used to assist in aggregation design choices and other internal operations. While EstimatedCount can be set manually to reflect estimated member counts, BimlStudio also provides an automatic Member Count Estimator in the Cube ribbon. |
| PartitionType | PartitionType | Data | This value specifies whether the partition is a simple data partition or additionally supports writeback. |
| ProcessingLocationName | AstAnalysisServicesConnectionNode | This value specifies a direct reference to the connection that will be responsible for processing this partition. This is normally used if a remote Analysis Services instance will be used for this purpose. This references an existing definiton. | |
| ProcessingMode | ProcessingMode | Regular | This value specifies the behavor of Analysis Services when processing aggregrations for this parition. |
| ProcessingPriority | Int32 | 0 | This value specifies the priority of processing this partition relative to other objects. |
| RemoteDataSourceId | String | This value specifies the Id of the remote DataSource corresponding to this partition. | |
| Slice | String | This value specifies a Multi-Dimensional Expression (MDX) statement that indicates which cells are part of this partition. | |
| State | CubeState | Unprocessed | This value specifies the current processing state of the partition. |
| StorageLocation | String | This value specifies a path on the file system to the location where the partition is physically stored. | |
| StorageMode | StorageMode | Molap | This value specifies the OLAP storage mode for the partition. |
Singleton Children
| Child | API Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <ErrorConfiguration /> | AstErrorConfigurationNode | The AstErrorConfigurationNode type defines how the SQL Server Analysis Services engine will respond to various potential error conditions while processing objects in the cube. |
| <ProactiveCaching /> | AstProactiveCachingNode | The AstProactiveCachingNodecorresponds directly to a proactive caching configuration definition in SQL Server Analysis Services. |
| <QuerySource /> | AstQueryPartitionSourceNode | The AstQueryPartitionSourceNode type describes all configuration information for a SQL Server Analysis Services partition whose source data is generated from the results of a SQL query. |
| <DatabaseTableSource /> | AstDatabaseTablePartitionSourceNode | The AstDatabaseTablePartitionSourceNode type describes all configuration information for a SQL Server Analysis Services partition whose source data is generated from a full database table. |
| <DsvTableSource /> | AstDsvTablePartitionSourceNode | The AstDsvTablePartitionSourceNode type describes all configuration information for a SQL Server Analysis Services partition whose source data is generated from a data source view. |
Collection Children
| Child | API Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <Annotations> <Annotation /> </Annotations> | AstAnnotationNode | This is a collection of annotation items that can be used to specify documentation, tags, or other information. Annotations are particularly useful for storing information about nodes that can be used by BimlScript code. |
