ParentObject Element (XMLA)

Contains the identifier of the parent object under which to create the objects defined by the parent Create element.

Syntax

<Create>
   ...
   <ParentObject>
      <!-- Object reference -->
   </ParentObject>
   ...
</Create>

Element Characteristics

Characteristic	Description
Data type and length	None
Default value	None
Cardinality	0-1: Optional element that can occur once and only once.

Element Relationships

Relationship	Element
Parent elements	Create
Child elements	Required Analysis Services Scripting Language (ASSL) elements. Specified by listing the ID elements of the object and its ancestors (excluding the Server object.) For example, the following ParentObject element identifies a partition: <ParentObject> <DatabaseID>Adventure Works DW</DatabaseID> <CubeID>Adventure Works</CubeID> <MeasureGroupID>Internet Sales</MeasureGroupID> <PartitionID>Inernet_Sales_2001</PartitionID> </ParentObject>

Remarks

The order in which identifiers appear is not important.

Example

The following example creates the Market Basket mining structure, included in the Adventure Works DW sample Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services database.
