2.5.1. Reusing Core Partitions

Reusing core partitions involves exporting the core partition from the Developer project as a .qdb, and then reusing the .qdb in a Consumer project.

The Consumer assigns the .qdb to an instance in the Consumer project. In the Consumer project, the Compiler runs stages not already exported with the partition.

Figure 10. Core Partition Reuse Flow

The following steps describe the core partition reuse flow in detail.
