Author How to create partitions in AS2005?

I have one fact table in the dsv and was able to create a measure group and a
default partition based on the fact table. Now how can I split the fact into
multiple partitions in the OLAP? It doesn't seem to have a filter or slice
option for the fact table like in AS2000.

Thanks,

You can still set up partition filtering in AS 2005:

Creating and Managing Local Partitions

You can use the Partition Wizard to create additional partitions in a
cube. The Partition Wizard is opened by first expanding a measure group
entry on the Partitions tab in Cube Designer and then clicking New
Partition. For the different ways to allocate data from a measure group
to a partition, see the following table.

Filtering a Fact Table for Multiple Partitions

When the same fact table is used for more than one partition in a cube,
it is important that the same rows are not used in more than one
partition. It is possible for a row that is used in more than one
partition to be included multiple times when the cube is processed or
queried; this can cause queries to return incorrect data.

You can use filters in partitions to ensure that data is not duplicated
among the partitions. A partition's filter specifies which data in the
fact table is used in the partition.

Thanks, I just wish that I do not have to specify partitions in a query.
