Class NumberParameter

      oracle.olapi.data.source.NumberParameter

public class NumberParameter
extends Parameter

A Parameter that specifies a number value that you use in creating a query. After creating the query, you can change the value of the NumberParameter and thereby change the selection of dimension or measure elements that the query represents.

The createSource method creates a parameterized NumberSource. You use the parameterized NumberSource as a parameter to a method that selects one or more elements of another Source and produces a derived Source. You can then create a Cursor for the Source to retrieve the results of the query.

You can change the selection of elements that the derived Source represents by changing the value of the NumberParameter with the appropriate setValue method. The Cursor for the query Source then has the values of the new selection. You do not need to create a new Cursor. You can instead just set the position of the existing Cursor to its first position and get the values for the new selection from the Cursor.

The following example creates a NumberParameter with the value 1000 and uses it to create a parameterized NumberSource. The dp object is the DataProvider. The example joins Source objects for a measure of product units sold, and for single selections from the default hierarchies of three of the four dimensions of the measure. The example then produces a selection of product values, paramProdSel, for which the number of units sold is greater than the value of the NumberParameter. It joins paramProdSel to the Source for the short description attribute for the product dimension, which produces the results Source. Finally, the example creates a Cursor for results.

 NumberParameter numParam = new NumberParameter(dp, 1000);
 NumberSource numParamSrc = (NumberSource) numParam.createSource();
 NumberSource qualifiedUnits =
          (NumberSource) units.join(timeHier, "CALENDAR_YEAR::YEAR::CY2001")
                              .join(custHier, "SHIPMENTS::REGION::EMEA")
                              .join(chanHier,"CHANNEL_PRIMARY::CHANNEL::INT");
 Source paramProdSel = prodHier.select(qualifiedUnits.gt(numParamSrc));
 Source results = prodShortDescr.join(paramProdSel);

 dp.getTransactionProvider().commitCurrentTransaction();

 CursorManager  cursorManager = dp.createCursorManager(results);
 Cursor resultsCursor = cursorManager.createCursor();

The following table displays the values of resultsCursor and adds column heading.

 Product                                Short Description
 ------------------------------------   -----------------
 PRODUCT_PRIMARY::TOTAL_PRODUCT::TOTAL  Total Product
 PRODUCT_PRIMARY::CLASS::HRD            Hardware
 PRODUCT_PRIMARY::FAMILY::DISK          CD/DVD
 PRODUCT_PRIMARY::FAMILY::MOD           Modems/Fax
 PRODUCT_PRIMARY::CLASS::SFT            Software/Other
 PRODUCT_PRIMARY::FAMILY::ACC           Accessories
 PRODUCT_PRIMARY::FAMILY::OS            Operating Systems

The following continuation of the example sets the value of the NumberParameter to 1500. It then sets the position of resultsCursor back to the first position of the Cursor.

 numParam.setValue(1500);
 // Reset the Cursor position to 1
 resultsCursor.setPosition(1);

The following table displays the values that resultsCursor now contains and adds column headings.

 ------------------------------------   -----------------
 PRODUCT_PRIMARY::TOTAL_PRODUCT::TOTAL  Total Product
 PRODUCT_PRIMARY::CLASS::HRD            Hardware
 PRODUCT_PRIMARY::CLASS::SFT            Software/Other
