The Dimension XSD depends upon element definitions in namespaces other than the default namespace.
The following elements are defined in the namespace eng200_200:
-
<xsd:element name="ProcessingRecommendation" > <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"> <xsd:enumeration value="None"/> <xsd:enumeration value="Stale"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> </xsd:element>
The following elements are defined in the namespace eng300:
-
<xsd:element name="StringStoresCompatibilityLevel"> <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:int"> <xsd:enumeration value="1050"/> <xsd:enumeration value="1100"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> </xsd:element> <xsd:element name="CurrentStringStoresCompatibilityLevel"> <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:int"> <xsd:enumeration value="1050"/> <xsd:enumeration value="1100"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> </xsd:element>
The following elements are defined in the namespace eng300_300:
-
<xsd:complexType name="Relationships"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="Relationship" type="eng300_300:Relationship" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" /> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType>
The following table describes the elements that are included in the XSD schema for Dimension. Those elements common to all major objects are described in section 2.2.4.2.2.1.
Element |
Read-Only |
Default value |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
Source |
|
Empty |
The source is of type Binding. However, one of the following derived types MUST be used: |
MiningModelID |
|
Empty |
The ID of a MiningModel. Used by data mining dimensions. For data mining dimensions, the Source element of the dimension MUST be of type DataSourceView binding, and the DataSourceViewID property of the DataSourceViewBinding MUST be set to the value ".". |
Type |
|
"Regular" |
An enumeration value that provides both the server and client applications with information about the contents of the dimension. Enumeration values can be informative only; however, a server MAY<67> implement behavior for specific enumeration values. The enumeration values are as follows:
|
UnknownMember |
|
"None" |
When referential integrity (RI) violations or null foreign keys are encountered, the server MAY impute an "unknown member". This enumeration defines whether and how the UnknownMember is exposed.
|
MdxMissingMemberMode |
|
"Default" |
Determines how missing members are handled for MDX statements. For more information, see [MSDN-MDXR]. |
ErrorConfiguration |
|
Empty |
Allows configuration of processing errors. |
StorageMode |
|
"Molap" |
Determines the storage mode for the dimension. Applies to all attributes of the dimension. |
WriteEnabled |
|
False |
When true, indicates that dimension writebacks are available (subject to security permissions); otherwise, false. For more information about dimension writebacks, see [MSFT-WBDIM]. |
ProcessingPriority |
|
Zero |
An integer that determines the priority for processing. |
LastProcessed |
Yes |
|
The date and time when the dimension was last processed. |
DimensionPermissions |
|
Empty |
A collection of objects of type DimensionPermission. |
DependsOnDimensionID |
|
Empty |
Provides the ID of any other dimension that this dimension is dependent upon. |
Language |
|
Empty |
The LCID of the language to use by default. See [MS-LCID] for information about LCIDs. If empty, the server will determine the language to use.<68> |
Collation |
|
Empty |
The collation sequence. |
UnknownMemberName |
|
"Unknown" |
The caption for UnknownMember in the default language. |
UnknownMemberTranslation |
|
Empty |
A collection of objects of type Translation that represents the translation for the UnknownMember in different languages. |
State |
Yes |
|
Contains the current processing state of the dimension. |
ProactiveCaching |
|
Empty |
Defines proactive caching parameters. |
ProcessingMode |
|
"Regular" |
Indicates whether the instance indexes and aggregates during or after processing. The enumeration values are as follows:
|
ProcessingGroup |
|
"ByAttribute" |
Indicates how the dimension is grouped during processing. Controls what kind of SQL queries are sent to the source data repository. |
CurrentStorageMode |
Yes |
|
The actual current storage mode for dimension. When the enumeration value is "InMemory", the valuens attribute MUST be included. |
Translations |
|
Empty |
A collection of Translation objects. |
Attributes |
|
Empty |
A collection of Attribute objects. |
AttributeAllMemberName |
|
Empty |
Contains the caption in the default language for the All member of a Hierarchy element. |
AttributeAllMemberTranslations |
|
Empty |
A collection of Translation objects for the AttributeAllMemberName. |
Hierarchies |
|
Empty |
A collection of Hierarchy objects. |
ProcessingRecommendation |
Yes |
|
An enumeration value that the system uses to indicate whether the Dimension is stale and needs to be processed. |
StringStoresCompatibilityLevel |
|
1050 |
An enumeration value that specifies the string store compatibility level that is instituted the next time the object is processed. The valid values are the following:
|
CurrentStringStoresCompatibilityLevel |
Yes |
1050 |
An enumeration value that specifies the string store compatibility level that is currently in effect. The interpretation of the values is the same as for StringStoresCompatibilityLevel. |
