If the database file is not empty, the required database file structures to support partitioning can be created only by executing the JADE Database Administration utility (jdbadmin) utility with the action=
jdbadmin path=c:\jade\system ini=c:\jade\jade.ini action=MakePartitioned file=customer
Setting the partitioned property on an existing map file requires a special file-based reorganization to convert the standard map file to a partitioned file.
