Specify Locations for Local Partitions (Synchronize Database Wizard) (Analysis Services)

Use the Specify Locations for Local Partitions page to indicate where on the destination Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services instance the local partitions that are contained in the specified database from the source Analysis Services instance should be stored.

Note

This page appears only if at least one local partition exists in the specified database.

Locations Options

The Locations option displays a grid listing the source folder, destination folder, and estimated size of the local partitions to be stored on the destination instance. The grid contains the following columns:
