192 WHOLPCUB Chapter 3 You can pass properties with a Ye s in the Update column to the _UPDATE_METADATA_ method, as described in the documentation for this method. Use this method to update properties of an existing object. For details, see “Using _UPDATE_METADATA_” on page 46. * Req indicates that the property is required; you must provide a value for this property when you use a given method. * Default indicates that the system will provide a default value for that property if you do not provide one. * Auto supplied means that the property is automatically supplied; any value that you specify for such a property is ignored. Properties with a Ye s in the Read Method Expand Parm column are valid with the expand parameter of the _GET_METADATA_ method. This method enables you to get detailed metadata about a property and its associated objects through a single method call. Properties Type Indirect Add Update Method Read Method Expand Parm.

SAS/Warehouse Administrator Metadata Types WHOLPDIM 193 WHOLPDIM Metadata type for OLAP dimension Category: Object Types—OLAP Parent “WHOLAP” on page 188 Overview WHOLPDIM models the metadata for OLAP dimensions in OLAP tables, groups, and MDDBs. A dimension organizes related columns, which are in hierarchies. For example, you could organize sales data into three dimensions: Geography, Time, and Product. The Time dimension could include these hierarchies, which provide different paths in order to drill down to increasing levels of detail: Time-by-Week and Time-by-Month. Properties The following table lists all of the properties for WHOLPDIM and indicates how you can use each property with metadata API methods. In the table, you can specify properties with a Ye s in the Indirect Add column when you indirectly add one object through another, as described in the documentation for the _UPDATE_METADATA_ method. Use this approach to add a new dependent object. For details, see “Using _UPDATE_METADATA_” on page 46.

WHOLPHIR Metadata type for OLAP hierarchy Category: Object Types—OLAP Parent “WHOLAP” on page 188 Overview WHOLPHIR models the metadata for OLAP hierarchies in OLAP tables, groups, and MDDBs. A hierarchy is a unique, ordered list of class columns that specifies related data and is a member of a dimension. Each hierarchy provides a navigational path in order to drill down to increasing levels of detail. Properties The following table lists all of the properties for WHOLPHIR and indicates how you can use each property with metadata API methods. In the table, you can specify properties with a Ye s in the Indirect Add column when you indirectly add one object through another, as described in the documentation for the _UPDATE_METADATA_ method.
