Element Characteristics

Description |
---|---|
Data type and length |
String (enumeration) |
Default value |
IgnoreError |
Cardinality |
0-1: Optional element that can occur once and only once. |
Remarks
Duplicate key errors are generated only during dimension processing, when an attribute key is encountered more than once. Because attribute keys must be unique, Analysis Services discards the duplicate records. Duplicate key errors typically indicate a flaw in the design of the dimension, specifically in the relationships between attributes.
The value of this element is limited to one of the strings in the following table.

Description |
