Creating a compound dimension search query

Compound search queries use the same dimension search URL parameters as default dimension search queries (D, Dn, Di, and so forth). Enabling and creating a compound dimension search query is a three-step process.

To enable and create a compound dimension search query:

  1. Specify the --compoundDimSearch flag when running Dgidx.

  2. Call the following method (Java) or property (.NET), before submitting the query:

    PlatformMethod or property
    Java ENEQuery.setDimSearchCompound()
    .NET ENEQuery.DimSearchCompound

  3. Build the dimension search query using the same dimension search URL parameters as a default dimension search query (D, Dn, Di, and so forth).

Example 66. Example query with a compound dimension search

The following is an example of a compound dimension search query (assuming the above three-step process is performed to enable this query).

This query: 

D=red+1996

returns the following results:

Dimension

Dimension values

Wine_Type, Year

[Red, 1996]

Wineries, Year

[Green & Red, 1996], [Red Hill, 1996]

Note

Only valid navigation requests are returned as results. This example implies that there are 1996 wines from Green & Red, and from Red Hill, but not from Red Rocks.
