Interface INaturalKeyMember

All Superinterfaces:

IModelObjectBase

All Known Implementing Classes:

OdiNaturalKeyMember

public interface INaturalKeyMember
extends IModelObjectBase

An interface to represent a natural key member owned by a dimension level. Each level owns an ordered list of natural key members, that together compose the natural key for the level.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ILevel	getLevel() Get the owning level for this natural key member.
ILevelAttribute	getLevelAttribute() Get the referenced level attribute for this natural key member.
int	getPosition() Get the position of this natural key member in the overall natural key.
void	setPosition(int value) Set the position of this natural key member in the overall natural key.

Method Detail

getLevelAttribute

ILevelAttribute getLevelAttribute()

Get the referenced level attribute for this natural key member. The natural key consists of an ordered set of level attributes, wrapped by natural key member objects.

Returns:

The referenced level attribute.

getLevel

ILevel getLevel()

Get the owning level for this natural key member. Each level owns an ordered set of natural key member objects, that together compose the natural key for the level.

Returns:

the owning level.

getPosition

int getPosition()

Get the position of this natural key member in the overall natural key. The natural key is an ordered set of level attributes, that will match an ordered set of source values when doing the parent lookup during the ETL load of the dimension.

Returns:

The position of this natural key member.

setPosition

void setPosition(int value)

Set the position of this natural key member in the overall natural key. The natural key is an ordered set of level attributes, that will match an ordered set of source values when doing the parent lookup during the ETL load of the dimension.

Parameters:

value - The position value to set.
