Method Detail

setName

void setName(java.lang.String pName)

Set the name for this measure.

Parameters:

pName - The name for this measure.

setDescription

void setDescription(java.lang.String pDescription)

Set the description for this measure.

Parameters:

pDescription - The description for this measure.

getDescription

java.lang.String getDescription()

Get the description of this measure

Returns:

The description of this measure.

getDataType

IDataType getDataType()

Get the data type that is associated with this measure. The data type is assumed to exist in the generic technology model for the repository.

Returns:

The Data type of this measure.

setDataType

void setDataType(IDataType pDataType)

Set the data type that is associated with this measure. The data type must be owned by the generic technology model for the repository.

Parameters:

pDataType - the data type to set for this measure.

getSize

java.lang.Integer getSize()

Get the the size (length or precision) of this measure. The size is used to validate the size of the bound column at validation or code generation time.

Returns:

The size of this measure.

setSize

void setSize(java.lang.Integer pSize)

Set the size for this measure. The size is used to validate the size of the bound column at validation or code generation time.

Parameters:

pSize - The size for this measure, or null if not applicable.

getScale

java.lang.Integer getScale()

Get the scale of this measure. The scale is used to validate the scale of the bound column at validation or code generation time.

Returns:

The scale of this measure.

setScale

void setScale(java.lang.Integer pScale)

Set the scale for this measure. The scale is used to validate the scale of the bound column at validation or code generation time.

Parameters:

pScale - The scale for this measure, or null if not applicable.

getBoundColumn

IColumn getBoundColumn()

Get the bound column for this measure. The bound column is a column in the cube bound table that corresponds to this measure. The runtime data for this measure will be stored in the bound column.

Returns:

The bound column for this measure.

setBoundColumn

void setBoundColumn(IColumn pBoundColumn)

Set the bound column for this measure. The bound column is a column in the cube bound table that corresponds to this measure. The runtime data for this measure will be stored in the bound column.

Parameters:

pBoundColumn - The bound column for this measure.

getPosition

int getPosition()

Get the position of this measure in its owning cube. The position number is used for display purposes.

Returns:

The position of this measure.

getCube

ICube getCube()

Get the owning cube of this measure.

Returns:

The owning cube.
