Defining Your Cube Type Business Service

The business service that identifies the zone for a cube type is also used to provide additional configuration options.

The business service schema should define meaningful element names for the parameters, dimensions and values. It should also define labels for those elements to be used by both the cube type and cube viewer user interfaces. The labels can be derived by mapping the element to a meta-data fields or by using the ‘label=’ syntax to define a text string directly in the schema definition. The ‘required=true’ syntax can be used to require a value to be entered for a user parameter on the cube viewer or for a fixed parameter on the cube type.

The user parameter elements are expected be defined within a group in the schema called ‘input’ and the fixed parameters within a group called ‘hidden’.
