public abstract class MdmSubDimension

extends MdmDimension

A component of an MdmPrimaryDimension, which represents an Oracle OLAP dimension. The type of the elements of an MdmSubDimension is specified by its MdmPrimaryDimension. With the getPrimaryDimension method, you can get the MdmPrimaryDimension for this MdmSubDimension.

The subclasses of MdmSubDimension represent hierarchical or nonhierarchical organizations of the elements of the dimension. The following are the concrete subclasses of MdmSubDimension.

• MdmLevelHierarchy, which is an MdmHierarchy that represents a list of elements arranged in a hierarchical structure that has levels based on parent-child relationships. Except for the elements at the topmost level, each element can have a parent, and, except for the elements at the lowest level, each element can have one or more children. All of these elements, including the parent and child elements, are within the MdmLevelHierarchy. The elements of the MdmLevelHierarchy correspond to elements in the MdmLevel objects that are the levels of the MdmLevelHierarchy.
• MdmLevel, which represents a list of elements that correspond to one level of the hierarchical structure of an MdmLevelHierarchy or a dimension that is nonhierarchical and whose elements are therefore all at the same level.
• MdmValueHierarchy, which is an MdmHierarchy that represents a list of elements arranged in a hierarchical structure that is not based on levels of parent-child relationships.
