oracle.olapi.metadata.mdm
Class MdmDimensionality

java.lang.Object
oracle.olapi.metadata.BaseMetadataObject
oracle.olapi.metadata.mdm.MdmObject
oracle.olapi.metadata.mdm.MdmDimensionality

All Implemented Interfaces:

MdmViewColumnOwner, MetadataObject

public class MdmDimensionality

extends MdmObject

implements MdmViewColumnOwner

An MdmObject that associates an MdmPrimaryDimension with an MdmDimensionedObject. You can get the MdmDimensionality objects with the getDimensionality method of the MdmDimensionedObject.

Method Summary

java.lang.Object	acceptVisitor(MdmObjectVisitor visitor, java.lang.Object context) Calls the visitMdmDimensionality method of the MdmObjectVisitor and passes that method this MdmDimensionality and an Object.
MdmDimension	getDimension() Gets the MdmPrimaryDimension that is associated with this MdmDimensionality.
java.lang.String	getETAttrPrefix() Gets the ET attribute prefix of this MdmDimensionality.
MdmViewColumn	getETColumn() Gets the MdmViewColumn that represents the ET (Embedded Totals) values for this MdmDimensionality.
void	setDimension(MdmDimension value) Specifies the MdmPrimaryDimension to associate with this MdmDimensionality.
void	setETAttrPrefix(java.lang.String value) Specifies a prefix for the name of the column for an attribute of a dimension in the materialized view of a cube.

Method Detail

getDimension

public MdmDimension getDimension()
                          throws oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException

Gets the MdmPrimaryDimension that is associated with this MdmDimensionality.

Returns:

The MdmPrimaryDimension associated with this MdmDimensionality.

Throws:

oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException - Indicates that the requested metadata object does not exist or is not available to the MdmMetadataProvider.

setDimension

public void setDimension(MdmDimension value)

Specifies the MdmPrimaryDimension to associate with this MdmDimensionality.

Parameters:

value - The MdmPrimaryDimension to associate with this MdmDimensionality.

getETAttrPrefix

public java.lang.String getETAttrPrefix()
                                 throws oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException

Gets the ET attribute prefix of this MdmDimensionality.

Returns:

A String that is the prefix that Oracle OLAP adds to the name of the column for an attribute of a dimension in the materialized view for a cube.

Throws:

oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException - Indicates that the requested metadata object does not exist or is not available to the MdmMetadataProvider.

setETAttrPrefix

public void setETAttrPrefix(java.lang.String value)

Specifies a prefix for the name of the column for an attribute of a dimension in the materialized view of a cube. When Oracle OLAP creates a materialized view for a cube, it creates columns for the attributes of the dimensions of the cubes. For the name of a column, it uses the name of the attribute column from the ET view of the dimension and adds a default prefix to the name. The ET attribute prefix provides a unique name for the column so that the name does not conflict with that of a column for an attribute of the same name that is owned by for another dimension. For example, each dimension of a cube might have an attribute named LONG_DESCRIPTION.

Oracle OLAP automatically assigns an ET attribute prefix for the column names for the attributes of a dimension in the materialized view for a cube. You can use this method to assign your own prefix for the column names.

Parameters:

value - A String that contains the prefix for Oracle OLAP to add to the name of the column for an attribute of a dimension in a materialized view for a cube.

acceptVisitor

public java.lang.Object acceptVisitor(MdmObjectVisitor visitor,
                                      java.lang.Object context)

Calls the visitMdmDimensionality method of the MdmObjectVisitor and passes that method this MdmDimensionality and an Object.

Specified by:

acceptVisitor in class MdmObject

Parameters:

visitor - An MdmObjectVisitor that implements the Mdm11_2_ObjectVisitor interface. .

context - An Object.

Returns:

The Object returned by the visitMdmDimensionality method.

getETColumn

public final MdmViewColumn getETColumn()

Gets the MdmViewColumn that represents the ET (Embedded Totals) values for this MdmDimensionality.

Returns:

The MdmViewColumn that represents the ET column for this MdmDimensionality.
