extends Measure

A measure resulting from calculations on other measures. The calculations are mathematical operations or data transformations on existing data. Examples of derived facts include averages, totals, percentages, and differences.

OLAP Analytic Workspace Derived Measure Model

DerivedMeasure

public DerivedMeasure(BaseObject input)

Constructor that takes the owner of this object.

Parameters:

input - BaseObject that is the owner of this object in the object model

getId

public java.lang.String getId()

Description copied from class: BaseObject

Returns the full name of the current object. Standard form conventions specify a full name for each logical object, because simple logical names are not unique outside their name space. The full name includes the simple logical name, but also indicates the name space to which the object belongs and its object type.

The following is an example of a full name for an attribute whose simple name is TIME_SPAN and whose parent object is a dimension called TIME.

GLOBAL_AW.TIME.TIME_SPAN.ATTRIBUTE

For more information on standard form naming conventions, see the Oracle OLAP Application Developer's Guide.

Overrides:

getId in class BaseObject

Tags copied from class: BaseObject

Returns:

A String containing the full name of the object.

setExpressionText

public void setExpressionText(java.lang.String input)

Sets the text of the OLAP expression that generates the derived measure.

Parameters:

input - String

getExpressionText

public java.lang.String getExpressionText()

Returns the text of the OLAP expression that generates the derived measure.

Returns:

String

setOperator

public void setOperator(Operator input)

Sets the operator for the DerivedMeasure.

Parameters:

input - Operator

getOperator

public Operator getOperator()

Returns the operator for the DerivedMeasure.

Returns:

Operator

WriteToXML

public java.lang.String WriteToXML()

Returns the object as an XML string.

Overrides:

WriteToXML in class Measure

Returns:

A String containing the XML that represents the object.

Create

public java.lang.String Create(AWConnection connection)

Creates a new DerivedMeasure in the analytic workspace.

Overrides:

Create in class Measure

Parameters:

connection - AWConnection

Returns:

String. The value is "success" if the DerivedMeasure was successfully created.

Delete

public java.lang.String Delete(AWConnection connection)

Removes a DerivedMeasure from the analytic workspace.

Overrides:

Delete in class Measure

Parameters:

connection - AWConnection

Returns:

String. The value is "success" if the DerivedMeasure was successfully deleted.

Alter

public java.lang.String Alter(AWConnection connection)

Alters a DerivedMeasure in the analytic workspace.

Overrides:

Alter in class BaseObject

Parameters:

connection - AWConnection

Returns:

String. The value is "success" if the DerivedMeasure was successfully altered.
