Remarks

When a Partition uses an AggregationDesign to generate aggregations for that partition, each Aggregation in the AggregationDesign is instantiated for that partition. Multiple partitions can use the same AggregationDesign to generate multiple instances of a defined Aggregation. Also note that user defined aggregations can be created on a partition without going through the AggregationDesign object.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
