Assembly Data Type (ASSL)

Defines an abstract primitive data type that represents a Microsoft .NET Framework assembly or a COM dynamic link library (DLL) associated with a Server or Database element.

Important

COM assemblies might pose a security risk. Due to this risk and other considerations, COM assemblies are depreceated.

Syntax

  
<Assembly>  
   <Name>...</Name>  
   <ID>...</ID>  
   <Description>...</Description>  
   <CreatedTimestamp>...</CreatedTimestamp>  
   <LastSchemaUpdate>...</LastSchemaUpdate>  
   <ImpersonationInfo>...</ImpersonationInfo>  
   <Annotations>...</Annotations>  
</Assembly>  

Data Type Characteristics

Characteristic	Description
Base data types	None
Derived data types	ClrAssembly, ComAssembly

Data Type Relationships

Relationship	Element
Parent elements	None

Remarks

The Assembly data type serves as the base data type for the ComAssembly element, which represents COM libraries associated with the instance or database, and the ClrAssembly element, which represents assemblies associated with the instance or database.

The corresponding element in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model is Assembly.
