                            throws oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException

Deprecated. As of Oracle 11g, Release 1 (11.1); replaced by CubeMap.findOrCreateMeasureMap.

Throws:

oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()

Gets the value of this MdmMeasure, which is the identifier for the Source for this MdmMeasure.

Specified by:

getValue in interface MdmMember

Returns:

A String that is the identifier for the Source for this MdmMeasure.

getLocalValue

public java.lang.String getLocalValue()

Gets the local value of this MdmMeasure, which is its name.

Specified by:

getLocalValue in interface MdmMember

Returns:

A String that contains the local value of this MdmMeasure.

getOwnerDimension

public MdmPrimaryDimension getOwnerDimension()

Gets the MdmPrimaryDimension of which this MdmMeasure is a member. An MdmMeasure can be a member of an MdmMeasureDimension.

Specified by:

getOwnerDimension in interface MdmMember

Returns:

The MdmPrimaryDimension of which this MdmMeasure is a member.

getMeasureDimension

public MdmMeasureDimension getMeasureDimension()

Gets the MdmMeasureDimension of the MdmRootSchema. All MdmMeasure objects provided by the MdmMetadataProvider are members of that MdmMeasureDimension.

Returns:

The MdmMeasureDimension of the MdmRootSchema

getLevel

public MdmLevel getLevel()

Gets the MdmLevel of the MdmMeasureDimension of which the MdmMeasure is a member.

Specified by:

getLevel in interface MdmMember

Returns:

The MdmLevel of the MdmMeasureDimension.

getLevelDepth

public int getLevelDepth()

Because an MdmMeasureDimension has only one level, this method returns 0.

Specified by:

getLevelDepth in interface MdmMember

Returns:

An integer that indicates the level of this MdmMeasure in the MdmMeasureDimension.

getParentValue

public java.lang.String getParentValue()

Because an MdmMeasure does not have a parent in a dimension hierarchy, this method returns null.

Specified by:

getParentValue in interface MdmMember

Returns:

null.

getParentLocalValue

public java.lang.String getParentLocalValue()

Because an MdmMeasure does not have a parent in a dimension hierarchy, this method returns null.

Specified by:

getParentLocalValue in interface MdmMember

Returns:

null.

getParentLevel

public MdmLevel getParentLevel()

Because an MdmMeasure does not have a parent in a dimension hierarchy, this method returns null.

Specified by:

getParentLevel in interface MdmMember

Returns:

null.

getPrecedence

public int getPrecedence()

Gets the precedence of this MdmMeasure.

Specified by:

getPrecedence in interface MdmMember
