HsvMDDataBufferLite Object Overview

The HsvMDDataBufferLite object supplements the HsvData object by providing methods to manage arrays of cells, caching a minimum number of subcubes to RAM and the other subcubes to disk. Note that the cells in an HsvMDDataBufferLite object are not stored in an application.

Note:

By default, the HsvMDDataBufferLite object caches a minimum of one subcube to RAM. You can change the minimum number of subcubes that will be cached; for more information, see IHsvMDDataBufferLite Interface.

The HsvData object provides the following methods to move data between an application and an HsvMDDataBufferLite object:

UpdateDataUsingMDDataBuffer inserts an HsvMDDataBufferLite object’s cells into an application.
AddDataToMDDataBuffer inserts an application’s cell into an HsvMDDataBufferLite object.

Create HsvMDDataBufferLite object references with the following syntax. Note that you must include the New keyword, otherwise an error will occur:

  Dim cDataBufferLite As HsvMDDataBufferLite
  Set cDataBufferLite = New HSVMDARRAYSLib.HsvMDDataBufferLite
  The following table summarizes the HsvMDDataBufferLite object’s methods.

Table 32. HsvMDDataBufferLite Object Methods

Method	Description
BeginEnumeration	Locks an HsvMDDataBufferLite object, and returns the number of subcubes contained by the object.
CreateDataIndexList	Creates an HsvMDIndexList object based upon the items in an HsvMDDataBufferLite object.
EndEnumeration	Unlocks an HsvMDDataBufferLite object that has been locked by BeginEnumeration.
EraseRecordFromPMBuffer	For internal use.
GetCheckLineItemDetailsForCaseInsensitiveDuplicates	Indicates whether case-insensitive duplicate checking is enabled for the HsvMDDataBufferLite instance.
GetCubeIndexFromPOV	Returns the index of a subcube in an HsvMDDataBufferLite object, given the IDs of the subcube’s dimension members.
GetCubePOVFromIndex	Returns the IDs of a subcube’s dimension members, given the subcube’s index.
GetData	Returns a cell’s data, given the member IDs that identify the cell.
GetDataAtIndex	Returns the data for a cell, given the indexes that identify the cell.
GetDescription	Returns a cell’s description, given the member IDs that identify the cell.
GetDescriptionAtIndex	Returns the description for a cell, given the indexes that identify the cell.
GetLineItems	Returns the data and descriptions for a cell’s line items, given the IDs that identify the cell’s dimension members.
GetLineItemsAtIndex	Returns the data and descriptions for a cell’s line items, given the indexes that identify the cell.
GetNumCellsForData	Returns the number of cells that are in a period of a subcube and that contain data.
GetNumCellsForDescriptions	Returns the number of cells that are in a period of a subcube and that contain descriptions.
GetNumCellsForLineItems	Returns the number of cells that are in a period of a subcube and that contain line items.
GetNumPeriodsInCubeForData	Returns the number of periods that are in a subcube and that contain cells with data.
GetNumPeriodsInCubeForDescriptions	Returns the number of periods that are in a subcube and that contain cells with descriptions.
GetNumPeriodsInCubeForLineItems	Returns the number of periods that are in a subcube and that contain cells with line items.
GetPeriodIndexFromPOVForData	Returns the index of a period within a subcube, given the subcube’s index and the period’s member ID. An index is returned only for periods with cells that contain data.
GetPeriodIndexFromPOVForDescriptions	Returns the index of a period within a subcube, given the subcube’s index and the period’s member ID. An index is returned only for periods with cells that contain descriptions.
GetPeriodIndexFromPOVForLineItems	Returns the index of a period within a subcube, given the subcube’s index and the period’s member ID. An index is returned only for periods with cells that contain line items.
GetPeriodPOVFromIndexForData	Returns the member ID of a period, given a subcube index and a period index. IDs are returned only for periods with cells that contain data.
GetPeriodPOVFromIndexForDescriptions	Returns the member ID of a period, given a subcube index and a period index. IDs are returned only for periods with cells that contain descriptions.
GetPeriodPOVFromIndexForLineItems	Returns the member ID of a period, given a subcube index and a period index. IDs are returned only for periods with cells that contain line items.
GetPMErrorRecordCount	For internal use.
GetPMRecordCount	For internal use.
GetRecordFromPMBuffer	For internal use.

InsertRecordIntoPMErrorBuffer	For internal use.
RemoveAll	Clears all the cells from an HsvMDDataBufferLite object.
SetCheckLineItemDetailsForCaseInsensitiveDuplicates	Specifies whether the system should check for case-insensitive duplicate line item descriptions.
SetData	Inserts a cell’s data into an HsvMDDataBufferLite object.
