Summary :
This SAP Note addresses modifications to InfoCube partitioning in SAP BI, specifically targeting the E table partitioning. Users can adjust InfoCube partitions to enhance database read and delete operation performance. Key points include the inability to change the F table partitioning, with an exception for DB2 on z/OS. The document details scenarios necessitating adjustments like data growth or period extension. It explains that repartitioning involves either partition reconfiguration, addition, or merging, with the action primarily based on system capabilities and data considerations. Post BI 7.00, tools assist in managing repartitions, which should be manually conducted per system due to non-transportability across system landscapes. Security implications include potential system downtime and increased load during reorganization, requiring careful scheduling.

Key words :
00 solution background sap bi supports, automatically activating changed partitioning properties, sufficient free disk space, correct error situations manually, requires additional disk space, support package level lower, activating changed partitioning properties, target system automatically prevented, partition existing infocubes subsequently, additional disk space
