public class AttributeSourceExpression

extends ExternalSourceExpression

Maps a column of a relational database to an Attribute or AttributeProjection. An AttributeSourceExpression is owned by a DimensionMapGroup.

java.lang.String	Create(AWConnection connection) Creates an AttributeSourceExpression in the current analytic workspace of the specified database connection.
java.lang.String	Delete(AWConnection connection) Removes the AttributeSourceExpression from the analytic workspace.
Hierarchy	getHierarchy() Gets the Hierarchy specified for the AttributeSourceProjection.
java.lang.String	getLanguage() Gets the language of the column values to which the AttributeSourceExpression is mapped.
Level	getLevel() Gets the Level specified for the AttributeSourceProjection.
void	setLanguage(java.lang.String input) Specifies the language of the column values to which the AttributeSourceExpression is mapped.
void	setTargetObject(BaseObject input) Specifies the Attribute or AttributeProjection as the target object to which the AttributeSourceExpression maps the relational source columns.

Constructor Detail

AttributeSourceExpression

public AttributeSourceExpression(BaseObject input)

Creates an AttributeSourceExpression for the specified DimensionMapGroup. An application should use the CreateAttributeMap method of the DimensionMapGroup rather than this constructor to create an AttributeSourceExpression.

Parameters:

input - The DimensionMapGroup that you want to own the AttributeSourceExpression.

AttributeSourceExpression

public AttributeSourceExpression(BaseObject input,
                                 java.lang.String lang)

Creates an AttributeSourceExpression for the specified DimensionMapGroup. The AttributeSourceExpression is mapped to column values in the specified language. An application should use the CreateAttributeMap(String lang) method of the DimensionMapGroup rather than this constructor to create an AttributeSourceExpression.

Parameters:

input - The DimensionMapGroup to own the AttributeSourceExpression.

lang - A String that identifies the language for the AttributeSourceExpression.

Method Detail

setTargetObject

public void setTargetObject(BaseObject input)

Specifies the Attribute or AttributeProjection as the target object to which the AttributeSourceExpression maps the relational source columns.

Overrides:

setTargetObject in class ExternalSourceExpression

Parameters:

input - The Attribute or AttributeProjection to which you want to map the source columns.

getLevel

public Level getLevel()

Gets the Level specified for the AttributeSourceProjection.

Returns:

The Level specified for the AttributeSourceProjection.

getHierarchy

public Hierarchy getHierarchy()

Gets the Hierarchy specified for the AttributeSourceProjection.

Returns:

The Hierarchy specified for the AttributeSourceProjection.

WriteToXML

public java.lang.String WriteToXML()

Gets an XML representation of the AttributeSourceExpression.

Overrides:

WriteToXML in class ExternalSourceExpression

Returns:

An XML String that represents the AttributeSourceExpression.

Alter

public java.lang.String Alter(AWConnection connection)

Applies changes to the textual attributes of the AttributeSourceExpression, such as its short and long names, in the analytic workspace to those currently specified by the AttributeSourceExpression.

Overrides:

Alter in class BaseObject

Parameters:

connection - The AWConnection that represents the database connection.

Returns:

A String that contains Success if the method makes the changes.

Create

public java.lang.String Create(AWConnection connection)

Creates an AttributeSourceExpression in the current analytic workspace of the specified database connection.

Overrides:

Create in class BaseObject

Parameters:

connection - The AWConnection that represents the database connection.

Returns:

A String that contains Success if the method creates the AttributeSourceExpression.

Delete

public java.lang.String Delete(AWConnection connection)

Removes the AttributeSourceExpression from the analytic workspace.

Overrides:

Delete in class BaseObject

Parameters:

connection - The AWConnection that represents the database connection.

Returns:

A String that contains Success if the method deletes the AttributeSourceExpression.

getLanguage

public java.lang.String getLanguage()

Gets the language of the column values to which the AttributeSourceExpression is mapped.

Returns:

A String containing the language of the column values to which the AttributeSourceExpression is mapped.

setLanguage

public void setLanguage(java.lang.String input)

Specifies the language of the column values to which the AttributeSourceExpression is mapped.

Parameters:

input - A String that identifies the language of the values to which the AttributeSourceExpression is mapped.
