oracle.AWXML.Level

public class Level

implements DerivedMeasureInput

A model object that defines the basic characteristics of a level. A Level is a MemberSelection whose members share the same level within a hierarchy. For example, the Month level within a time dimension could consist of members January, February, and so on.

Levels implement the DerivedMeasureInput interface, and therefore can be used as input to the calculations that define a derived measure.

Methods for setting the logical name, and other text identifiers are inherited from BaseObject. Methods for applying attributes and defining a mapping to the data source are inherited from AWObject.

Level

public Level(BaseObject input)

Creates a new Level for the specified Dimension.

Note: The object factories are a recommended way of creating objects. For example, use the createLevel method on a Dimension object.

Parameters:

input - A BaseObject representing the parent dimension

WriteToXML

public java.lang.String WriteToXML()

Returns the Level object as an XML string.

Returns:

A String containing the XML that represents the Level.

Create

public java.lang.String Create(AWConnection connection)

Creates the Level within the current analytic workspace of the specified connection.

Overrides:

Create in class BaseObject

Parameters:

connection - An AWConnection that defines the connection.

Returns:

String

Delete

public java.lang.String Delete(AWConnection connection)

Deletes the Level in the current analytic workspace of the specified connection.

Overrides:

Delete in class BaseObject

Parameters:

connection - An AWConnection that defines the connection.

Returns:

String

findAttributeProjection

public AttributeProjection findAttributeProjection(Attribute input)

Returns the level attribute (AttributeProjection) that corresponds to the specified dimension attribute (Attribute). For example, the TIME_SPAN dimension attribute for the Month level might be MONTH_TIME_SPAN.

Parameters:

The - Attribute that defines the dimension attribute

Returns:

The AttributeProjection that defines the dimension attribute for this level
