partitions processing doubt

  • I need some suggestions from you,

    We have a cube with 13 dimensions and 2 Measure Groups which have 33

    partions each.

    As applied PROCESS UPDATE for Dimensions and PROCESS FULL for cube

    taking around 12 hrs to finish processing.

    Im planning to reduce the processing time for this im planning to

    apply process incremental for cube.

    PROCESS UPDATE for Dimensions

    PROCESS FULL for Recent Partions

    PROCESS INDEX for rest of Partions.

    This will surely reduce processing time but if we apply process index

    then if we get any of the updated data for those transctions it wont

    reflect the changes.

    There is a chance of getting updates of those trancsctions with latest

    extract.So it wont work

    Anyone suggest me the best approach for this process.

    Please let me know if you need more info.

    My Lead suggest me ( write a process which finds which partion will be

    impacted with the new loaded transctions and refresh only those

    partions)

    Ex: If Cube was refreshed on 10th may we need to check the

    trancsctions loaded after that date and which partion effected those

    transctions and refresh only those partions)

    Is it possible to do this approach.....

  • Hello,

    Ideally it would be beneficial to have your partitioning so that archived or static data is in a separate partition. If it is not possible to change the partitioning in this way I would agree that you will need some type of logic to determine which partition is affected by data updates.

    I am assuming your server is using SSAS 2005?
