Merge Partitions Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to merge two partitions. The data and aggregations of the partition you selected in the Analysis Manager tree pane are consolidated into the partition you select in the Into this partition box, and the first partition is then deleted.

This dialog box appears when, in the Analysis Manager tree pane, you expand the Partitions folder for a cube, right-click a partition, and then click Merge. This command is available only for partitions in cubes that contain more than one partition.

Caution  When you merge partitions that have different fact tables, you must manually merge the fact tables so the target partition's fact table contains all the facts required for the combined partition. For more information, see Merging Partitions.
