WHOLPSTC Base metadata type for OLAP tables, groups, and MDDBs Category: Object Types—Explorer Parent “WHTABLE” on page 254 Overview WHOLPSTC is the base metadata type for OLAP tables, groups, and MDDBs. Properties The following table lists all of the properties for WHOLPSTC and indicates how you can use each property with metadata API methods. In the table, you can pass properties with a Ye s in the Add column to the _ADD_METADATA_ method. Use this method to add a new object. You can pass properties with a Ye s in the Update column to the _UPDATE_METADATA_ method. Use this method to update properties of an existing object. * 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. 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 Add Method Update Method Read Method Expand Parm.

OLAP Type specifies the character string that contains the type of OLAP configuration that is being created. The valid value for OLAP table is DATA. The valid value for OLAP MDDB is MDDB. The valid values for OLAP group are HOLAP, ROLAP, MOLAP, and MIXED. Using WHOLPSTC Add Update Delete No No No WHOLPSTC and its children are independent types. WHOLPTBL Metadata type for OLAP tables Category: Object Types—Explorer Parent “WHOLPSTC” on page 198 Overview WHOLPTBL replaces the WHSUMTBL metadata type.
