public class DimensionMapGroup

extends MappingGroup

A MappingGroup that specifies data source mapping expressions for a Dimension. The mappings specify the relational columns that contain dimension members and attributes.

A DimensionMapGroup can be owned by a Dimension, a Hierarchy, a Level, or a HierarchyLevelAssociation. Within the DimensionMapGroup some or all of the dimension members or attributes can be mapped.

Use the oracle.AWAction.BuildDatabase class to load data into analytic workspace dimensions and attributes from the mapped data source.

Constructor Detail

DimensionMapGroup

public DimensionMapGroup(BaseObject input)

Creates a DimensionMapGroup for the specified Dimension, Hierarchy, Level, or HierarchyLevelAssociation.

Parameters:

input - The Dimension, Hierarchy, Level, or HierarchyLevelAssociation that owns the new DimensionMapGroup.

Method Detail

WriteToXML

public java.lang.String WriteToXML()

Gets an XML representation of the DimensionMapGroup.

Overrides:

WriteToXML in class MappingGroup

Returns:

A String that is an XML representation of the DimensionMapGroup.

getKeyMap

public DimensionKeySourceExpression getKeyMap()

Returns the DimensionKeySourceExpression in the DimensionMapGroup.

Returns:

The DimensionKeySourceExpression.

setKeyMap

public void setKeyMap(DimensionKeySourceExpression input)

Sets the dimension member map to the specified DimensionKeySourceExpression.

Parameters:

input - The DimensionKeySourceExpression.

setDimensionKeySourceExpression

public void setDimensionKeySourceExpression(DimensionKeySourceExpression input)

Sets the dimension member map to the specified DimensionKeySourceExpression.

This method is the functional equivalent of setKeyMap. It exists to satisfy internal requirements of the API.

Parameters:

getParentMap

public HierarchicalParentSourceExpression getParentMap()

Returns the key column for the workspace hierarchy.

Returns:

A HierarchialParentSourceExpression for a Hierarchy or HierarchyLevelAssociation

setParentMap

public void setParentMap(HierarchicalParentSourceExpression input)

Sets the parent level map to the specified HierarchialParentSourceExpression.

This method is only used when the DimensionMapGroup is owned by a HierarchyLevelAssociation.

Parameters:

input - The HierarchialParentSourceExpression.

setHierarchicalParentSourceExpression

public void setHierarchicalParentSourceExpression(HierarchicalParentSourceExpression input)

Sets the parent level map to the specified HierarchialParentSourceExpression.

This method is only used when the DimensionMapGroup is owned by a HierarchyLevelAssociation.

This method is the functional equivalent of setParentMap. It exists to satisfy internal requirements of the API.

Parameters:

input - The HierarchialParentSourceExpression.

addAttributeMap

public void addAttributeMap(AttributeSourceExpression input)

Adds the specified AttributeSourceExpression to the DimensionMapGroup.

Parameters:

input - The AttributeSourceExpression to add.

removeAttributeMap

public void removeAttributeMap(AttributeSourceExpression input)
