Answer 1

You can only partition a dataset using one of the two partitioning criteria ‘calendar month’ (0CALMONTH) or ‘fiscal year/period (0FISCPER). At least one of the two InfoObjects must be contained in the InfoProvider.
If you want to partition an InfoCube using the fiscal year/period (0FISCPER) characteristic, you have to set the fiscal year variant characteristic to constant.
<b>Prerequisites -</b>
When partitioning using 0FISCPER values, values are calculated within the partitioning interval that you specified in the InfoCube maintenance. To do this, the value for 0FISCVARNT must be known at the time of partitioning; it must be set to constant.
<b>Procedure</b>
       1.      The InfoCube maintenance is displayed. Set the value for the 0FISCVARNT characteristic to constant. Carry out the following steps:
a.       Choose the Time Characteristics tab page.
b.       In the context menu of the dimension folder, choose Object specific InfoObject properties.
c.       Specify a constant for the characteristic 0FISCVARNT. Choose Continue.
2.      Choose Extras--> DB Performance --> Partitioning. The Determine Partitioning Conditions dialog box appears. You can now select the 0FISCPER characteristic under Slctn. Choose Continue.
3.      The Value Range (Partitioning Condition) dialog box appears. Enter the required data.
Hope it Helps
