Remarks

When a Partition element uses an AggregationDesign element to generate aggregations for that partition, each Aggregation in the AggregationDesign is instantiated for that partition. Multiple partitions can use the same aggregation design to generate multiple instances of a defined aggregation. The AggregationInstance element represents an instance of a defined aggregation.

The corresponding element in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model is xref:Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AggregationInstance.
