public abstract class MdmSubDimension

extends MdmDimension

A component of an MdmPrimaryDimension. The type of the members of an MdmSubDimension is specified by its MdmPrimaryDimension. With the getPrimaryDimension method, you can get the MdmPrimaryDimension for this MdmSubDimension.

The subclasses of MdmSubDimension represent hierarchical or nonhierarchical organizations of the members of the dimension. The following are the concrete subclasses of MdmSubDimension.

• MdmLevelHierarchy, which is an MdmHierarchy that represents a list of members arranged in a hierarchical structure that has levels based on parent-child relationships. Except for the members at the topmost level, each member can have a parent, and, except for the members at the lowest level, each member can have one or more children. All of these members, including the parent and child members, are within the MdmLevelHierarchy. The members of the MdmLevelHierarchy correspond to members in the MdmLevel objects that are the levels of the MdmLevelHierarchy.
• MdmLevel, which represents a list of members that correspond to one level of the hierarchical structure of an MdmLevelHierarchy or a dimension that is nonhierarchical and whose members are therefore all at the same level.
• MdmValueHierarchy, which is an MdmHierarchy that represents a list of members arranged in a hierarchical structure that is not based on levels of parent-child relationships.
