Remarks

This data type has the following validations under DeploymentMode values 1 (SharePoint) and 2 (Tabular).

• WriteEnabled child element must be set to False

• UnknownMember child element must be set to AutomaticNull

• All unique attributes must have NullProcessing child element set to Error

The following child attributes are not supported under DeploymentMode values 1 (SharePoint) and 2 (Tabular).

• DimensionPermissions

• MiningModelID

• ProactiveCaching

The corresponding elements in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model are Dimension, AggregationDimension, AggregationDesignDimension, CubeDimension, MeasureGroupDimension, and PerspectiveDimension.
