Class FundamentalMetadataProvider

java.lang.Object
  extended by oracle.olapi.data.source.FundamentalMetadataProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:
MetadataProvider

public final class FundamentalMetadataProvider
extends java.lang.Object
implements MetadataProvider

Provides FundamentalMetadataObject objects that represent OLAP Java API data types and placeholder objects for an OLAP Java API data type. In this documentation, the OLAP Java API data types appear in regular type face instead of in monospace type face to distinguish them from java.lang data type wrapper classess such as Boolean and Float. You get a FundamentalMetadataProvider with the getFundamentalMetadataProvider method of a DataProvider.

You use the Source returned by the getSource method of a FundamentalMetadataObject for a placeholder in defining a Source to use as the value for the source parameter for a method that creates a custom member of a dimension or as the value of the assigned parameter for an assign method of a Model. For example, the following code gets the placeholder for the Number data type and gets the Source for the placeholder. It uses that Source to define a calculation. The example then uses the calculation as the source parameter to create a custom member. In the example, dp is the DataProvider, mdmProdStdDim is an MdmStandardDimension, and itemLevel is an MdmHierarchyLevel of a hierarchy of the dimension.

 // Get the placeholder Source for the Number data type.
 Source ph = dp.getFundamentalMetadataProvider()
               .getNumberPlaceholder()
               .getSource();

 // Create a Source that specifies a value for the custom member.
 Source calc1 = ((NumberSource)
                 (ph.join(prodPrimary, "PRODUCT_PRIMARY::ITEM::ENVY EXE")))
                 .plus(
                 (NumberSource)
                 (ph.join(prodPrimary, "PRODUCT_PRIMARY::ITEM::ENVY ABM")));

 // Create a custom member of the Product dimension.
 MdmStandardMember myProdMember = mdmProdStdDim.createCustomMember(
                                        "EXE and ABM",  // member local value
                                        itemLevel, // member level
                                        "LTPC",   // parent local value
                                        calc1, // calculation of value for member
                                        10);   // precedence value

Method Detail

getID

public final java.lang.String getID()
Gets the unique identifier for this FundamentalMetadataProvider.
Specified by:
getID in interface MetadataProvider
Returns:
The unique identifier for this FundamentalMetadataProvider.

getMetadataObject

public final FundamentalMetadataObject getMetadataObject(java.lang.String id)
Gets the FundamentalMetadataObject that has the specified identifier.
Parameters:
id - A String that uniquely identifies the FundamentalMetadataObject to be retrieved.
Returns:
The requested FundamentalMetadataObject.

getMetadataObjects

public final java.util.List getMetadataObjects(java.lang.String[] ids)
Retrieves a List in which each element is a FundamentalMetadataObject that has one of the specified identifiers.
Parameters:
ids - An array of String objects, each of which uniquely identifies a FundamentalMetadataObject to be retrieved.
Returns:
A List that contains a FundamentalMetadataObject for each of the specified identifiers.

getValueDataType

public final FundamentalMetadataObject getValueDataType()
Gets the FundamentalMetadataObject that represents the OLAP Java API Value data type. When the values of the elements of a Source object are any combination of the OLAP Java API Number, String, or Empty data types, the Source object has the OLAP Java API Value data type.
Returns:
A FundamentalMetadataObject that represents the OLAP Java API Value data type.
