public abstract class MdmPrimaryDimension

extends MdmDimension

implements MdmMemberListMapOwner, MdmViewColumnOwner, MdmQuery, Buildable

The base class for objects that represent an Oracle OLAP dimension. An MdmPrimaryDimension has one or more components that are subclasses of MdmSubDimension.

The concrete subclasses of the abstract MdmPrimaryDimension class represent dimensions that have different characteristics. An MdmStandardDimension typically has members that represent such things as products, customers, distribution channels, and so on. An MdmTimeDimension has members that represent time periods. An MdmMeasureDimension has members that are MdmMeasure objects.

The MdmHierarchy components of an MdmPrimaryDimension represent organizations of the members of the dimension. An Oracle OLAP dimension can be a simple, nonhierarchical set of members, or it can organize members into one or more hierarchies. A hierarchy can have parent-child relationships organized by levels or by values. For example, a dimension of time periods might be organized into two hierarchies, one organized by calendar year time periods and the other organized by fiscal year time periods. Both hierarchies are organized by levels for year, quarter, month, and day time periods. Each of those hierarchies is represented by an MdmLevelHierarchy, which is a concrete subclass of the abstract MdmHierarchy class. Those MdmLevelHierarchy objects are the components of the MdmTimeDimension.

Some the methods of an MdmPrimaryDimension return MdmAttribute objects that have members that are related to members of one or more of the components of the dimension. For example, the getLocalValueAttribute method returns an MdmAttribute that relates the unique value of a member of a component of the MdmPrimaryDimension to its corresponding local value. A unique value specifies a hierarchy, a level of the hierarchy, and the value of a member in that level, as in the following example from an MdmLevelHierarchy that represents products organized into levels by the type of product.

 PRODUCT_PRIMARY::ITEM::ENVY STD

The parts of the unique value are separated by a value separation string. The value separation string in the preceding example is ::, the double colons. The local value of that unique value is ENVY STD.

An application can create a concrete instance of an MdmPrimaryDimension by calling the appropriate method of an MdmDatabaseSchema. It can also get existing MdmPrimaryDimension objects from the MdmDatabaseSchema or an MdmDimensionedObject. It gets the MdmMeasureDimension for a schema by calling the getMeasureDimension method of an MdmDatabaseSchema.
