Note

  This feature will be removed in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible.

The CommandType property of the Command interface contains an enumeration constant that identifies the command option.

Applies To:clsCubeCommand, clsDatabaseCommand, clsRoleCommand

Data Type

Access

Read/write

Remarks

The value of CommandType determines how the Analysis server interprets the command object. The following table lists the possible values.

Command type Description

cmdCreateAction

The command contains a CREATE ACTION statement. For more information, see CREATE ACTION Statement.

cmdCreateMember

The command defines one or more calculated members.

cmdCreateSet

The command defines one or more sets of existing members.

cmdUseLibrary

The command specifies a third-party DLL that contains functions to be registered for use in Multidimensional Expressions (MDX).

cmdUnknown

The command defines statements that are not included in any of the other command types, such as DROP MEMBER statements or new statements that may be added to future versions.

cmdCreateCellCalculation

The command defines a calculated cells definition.

Important

  To ensure compatibility with Analysis Manager, you should create only one action, calculated member, named set, or calculated cells definition per command.

Examples

A. Specifying the Command Type

Use the following code to specify a command type for an existing command object:

CommandObject.CommandType = cmdCreateMember

B. Determining the Command Type

Use the following code to determine the type of command in use:

Dim CommandType As DSO.CommandTypes
CommandType = CommandObject.CommandType
Select Case CommandType
    Case cmdCreateAction
        ' Insert code to create an action.
    Case cmdCreateMember
        ' Insert code to define a calculated member.  
    Case cmsCreateSet
        ' Insert code to define a named set of existing members. 
    Case cmdUseLibrary
        ' Insert code to use a third-party library. 
    Case cmdCreateCellCalculation
        ' Insert code to create a calculated cells definition.
   Case cmdUnknown
        ' Insert code to define other statements. 
End Select
