Partioning cube Measures dynamically

  • Hi Team,

    We need to partition our cube dynamically based on year and period(ex 201306). So when there is a data load/update is happening in the fact only the particular partition is processed and not all.

    Dynamic partition I mean, when there is a load happening for a particular Year and Period, then a partition need to created in the cube.

    Please suggest. Thanks.

    Regards

    Jim

    I have done something similar using dateadd in the partition SQL statement. I had 3 partitions, "Live" which used a date filter filtering from 1st of 3 months ago to yesterday, the "Mid Range" > 3 months < 12 months, and the "Archive" which was everything older than 12 months. There's a move around on the transition into a new month where each partition needs processing but for every other day only the live partition needs processing.

    Works well and is reasonably dynamic.
