Enables you to merge two partitions. The data and aggregations of the partition you selected in the OLAP Manager tree view 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 OLAP Manager tree view you expand the Partitions folder for a cube, right-click a partition, and then click Merge. This command is available only when more than one partition is defined in a cube.
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 and its subtopics in the Administrator’s Guide.
