public abstract class MdmHierarchy
extends MdmSubDimension
implements MdmViewColumnOwner, MdmQuery

An MdmSubDimension that represents members of an Oracle OLAP dimension that are organized either hierarchically or nonhierarchically. An MdmHierarchy is a component of an MdmPrimaryDimension.

A hierarchical organization is defined by parent-child relationships between the members of the hierarchy. If the parent-child relationships are defined by levels, then the MdmHierarchy is an MdmLevelHierarchy, which has a component MdmLevel object for each level. If the parent-child relationships are defined by values and not by levels, then the MdmHierarchy is an MdmValueHierarchy.

A nonhierarchical MdmHierarchy is one that is not organized by parent-child relationships. It is represented by an MdmLevelHierarchy that has only one level.

MdmAttribute objects record the parent-child relationships among the members of an MdmHierarchy You use the getParentAttribute and getAncestorsAttribute methods to get the MdmAttribute objects that relate parents to children and ancestors to descendents, respectively.

Method Detail

getAncestorsAttribute

public MdmAttribute getAncestorsAttribute()
                                   throws oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException

Gets the ancestors attribute for this MdmHierarchy. The ancestors attribute relates each member of this MdmHierarchy to the members that are the ancestors of it in the hierarchy. For example, the ancestors for a given day in a time hierarchy might be month, quarter, and year.

Returns:

The MdmAttribute that is the ancestors attribute of this MdmHierarchy.

Throws:

oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException

getParentAttribute

public MdmAttribute getParentAttribute()
                                throws oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException

Gets the parent attribute for this MdmHierarchy. The parent attribute relates each member of this MdmHierarchy to the parent of it.

Returns:

The MdmAttribute that is the parent attribute of this MdmHierarchy.

Throws:

oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException

getDefaultMember

public abstract MdmDimensionMemberInfo getDefaultMember()
                                                 throws oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException

Gets the MdmDimensionMemberInfo that is associated with the default member of this MdmHierarchy. You can get the value of the default member by calling the getLocalValue or getUniqueValue method of the MdmDimensionMemberInfo.

Returns:

An MdmDimensionMemberInfo for the default member of this MdmHierarchy.

Throws:

oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException

setDefaultMember

public abstract void setDefaultMember(MdmDimensionMemberInfo defaultMember)
                               throws oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException,
                                      MdmInvalidValueException

Specifies a default member for this MdmHierarchy.

Parameters:

defaultMember - The MdmDimensionMemberInfo that is associated with the dimension member that you want as the default member for this MdmHierarchy.

Throws:

oracle.express.mdm.MetadataNotFoundException

MdmInvalidValueException

isDefaultHierarchy

public final boolean isDefaultHierarchy()

Indicates whether this MdmHierarchy is the default component of an MdmPrimaryDimension.

Returns:

A boolean that is true if this is the default hierarchy or false if it is not.

getETViewName
