PropertyList Element - Supported XMLA Properties
Analysis Services supports the properties listed in the following table. You use these listed properties in the Properties element of the Discover and Execute methods.
| Name | Description | Type | Values |
|---|---|---|---|
| AxisFormat | Determines the format used within an MDDataSet result set to describe the axes of the multidimensional dataset. This property can have the values listed in the following table. This property can be used with the Execute method. |
Optional, write-only String property | ClusterFormat: The MDDataSet axis is made up of one or more CrossProduct elements. CustomFormat: Analysis Services uses the TupleFormat format for this setting. TupleFormat Default. The MDDataSet axis contains one or more Tuple elements. |
| BeginRange | Contains a zero-based integer value corresponding to a CellOrdinal attribute value. (The CellOrdinal attribute is part of the Cell element in the CellData section of MDDataSet.) The default value for this property is -1. This property can be used with the Execute method. Used together with the EndRange property, the client application can use this property to restrict an OLAP dataset returned by a command to a specific range of cells. If -1 is specified, all cells up to the cell specified in the EndRange property are returned. |
Optional, write-only Integer property | |
| Catalog | When establishing a session with an Analysis Services instance to send an XMLA command, this property is equivalent to the OLE DB property, DBPROP_INIT_CATALOG. When you set this property during a session to change the current database for the session, this property is equivalent to the OLE DB property, DBPROP_CURRENTCATALOG. The default value for this property is an empty string. This property can be used with the Discover and Execute methods. |
Optional, read/write String property | |

Optional, write-only String property | |
| DataSourceInfo | Contains the information, such as the instance name, required to connect to the data source. Client applications should not construct the contents of the DataSourceInfo property to send to an instance. Instead, the client application should find the data sources supported by the provider by using the Discover method to retrieve the DISCOVER_DATASOURCES rowset. The client application then sends back the same value for the DataSourceInfo property that the client retrieved from the DISCOVER_DATASOURCES rowset. There is no default value for this property.

| Dialect | You can use the Dialect property when you expect that most of queries will use one particular dialect over any other. Query syntax can be similar for language dialects, such as DMX and SQL. Because the syntax can be similar, Analysis Services may not be able to infer the dialect from the query syntax. If a query does not run in one dialect, the Analysis Services instance may try to run the query again in a different dialect. If the Dialect property is set, Analysis Services returns query execution errors in the dialect that has precedence, even if the provider tries to run the query again in another dialect. For example, the Dialect property is set to MDGUID_DM. The provider first tries to run the query as a data mining query, but this query fails. The provider then resubmits the query as an SQL query. However, this SQL query also fails. Because the value of the Dialect property is MDGUID_DM, Analysis Services returns a data mining error message, not an SQL error message. If the Dialect property is not set, Analysis Services returns query execution errors in the dialect last used. For example, the Dialect property is not set, and a data mining query fails. The provider then resubmits the query as SQL. The SQL query also fails. Because the Dialect property is not set, the provider returns an SQL error message instead of a data mining error message. This property can be used with the Discover and Execute methods. There is no default value for this property. Establishes the dialect used in the following situations: -The dialect that the provider will use the first time that the provider tries to run a query. -The dialect used for the execution errors returned as the result of query failures. |
Optional, read/write String property | The following Name: Value pairs are dialects available to this property: DBGUID_SQL: C8B522D7-5CF3-11CE-ADE5-00AA0044773D. The SQL parser has precedence. MDGUID_DM: 62C58FED-CCA5-44F1-83B6-7B45682B3904. The DMX parser has precedence. MDGUID_MDX: A07CCCD0-8148-11D0-87BB-00C04FC33942. The MDX parser has precedence. |

This property can be used with the Discover and Execute methods. |
Optional, write-only String property | |
| EndRange | Specifies a zero-based integer value corresponding to a CellOrdinal attribute value. (The CellOrdinal attribute is part of the Cell element in the CellData section of MDDataSet). Used together with the BeginRange property, the client application can use this property to restrict an OLAP dataset returned by a command to a specific range of cells. If -1 is specified, all cells from the cell specified in the BeginRange property are returned. The default value for this property is -1. This property can be used with the Execute method. |
Optional, write-only Integer property | |
| ExecutionMode | Reserved for future use. The default value for this property is Execute. This property can be used with the Discover and Execute methods. |

This property can be used with the Discover and Execute methods. |
Optional, write-only Integer property | |
