Class MdmDerivedMeasure

All Implemented Interfaces:

public class MdmDerivedMeasure

extends MdmMeasure

An MdmMeasure that has values that Oracle OLAP derives from an Expression. The values of an MdmDerivedMeasure are calculated on the fly by Oracle OLAP and are not stored in the database. An MdmDerivedMeasure does not have an associated ConsistentSolveSpecification.

With the findOrCreateDerivedMeasure method of an MdmCube, you can get an existing MdmDerivedMeasure or create a new one. Committing the Transaction in which you create a derived measure makes the MdmDerivedMeasure a persistent object. It adds the MdmDerivedMeasure to the data dictionary, which makes it available to other applications.

Method Summary

java.lang.Object	acceptVisitor(MdmObjectVisitor visitor, java.lang.Object context) Calls the visitMdmDerivedMeasure method of the MdmObjectVisitor and passes that method this MdmDerivedMeasure and an Object.
Expression	getMeasureExpression() Gets the Expression that determines the values of this MdmDerivedMeasure.
SQLDataType	getSQLDataType() Gets the SQL data type for this MdmDerivedMeasure.
void	setMeasureExpression(Expression input) Specifies an Expression that determines the values of this MdmDerivedMeasure.

Method Detail

acceptVisitor

public java.lang.Object acceptVisitor(MdmObjectVisitor visitor,
                                      java.lang.Object context)

Calls the visitMdmDerivedMeasure method of the MdmObjectVisitor and passes that method this MdmDerivedMeasure and an Object.

Specified by:

acceptVisitor in class MdmObject

Parameters:

visitor - An MdmObjectVisitor that is an instance of Mdm11_ObjectVisitor.

context - An Object.

Returns:

The Object returned by the visitMdmDerivedMeasure method.

getMeasureExpression

public final Expression getMeasureExpression()

Gets the Expression that determines the values of this MdmDerivedMeasure.

Returns:

The Expression that determines the values of this MdmDerivedMeasure.

setMeasureExpression

public final void setMeasureExpression(Expression input)

Specifies an Expression that determines the values of this MdmDerivedMeasure.

Parameters:

input - An Expression that determines the values of this MdmDerivedMeasure.

getSQLDataType

public final SQLDataType getSQLDataType()

Gets the SQL data type for this MdmDerivedMeasure.

Returns:

A SQLDataType that represents the SQL data type.
