Direct Known Subclasses:

AggregationHierarchySpecification

public abstract class Aggregation

extends CalculationSpecification

A CalculationSpecification that specifies the rules for aggregating data over a hierarchical dimension. A ModelRef is a CalculationSpecification that references a pre-defined Model to specify aggregation over a dimension that is typically a non-hierarchical dimension. A CalculationSpecification is associated with an AggregationDefinition.

An AggregationDefinition owns an ordered set of CalculationSpecification objects. The position in the calculation order determines the order in which Oracle OLAP performs the calculations.

An Aggregation has an AggregationHierarchySpecification. It can also have an AggregationOperator and an AggregationArgument.

For more information on aggregation in analytic workspaces, see the Oracle OLAP Application Developer's Guide.

Constructor Detail

Aggregation

public Aggregation(BaseObject input)

Creates an Aggregation and adds it to the specified AggregationDefinition.

Parameters:

input - The AggregationDefinition that has the new Aggregation.

Method Detail

WriteToXML

public java.lang.String WriteToXML()

Gets an XML representation of the Aggregation.

Overrides:

WriteToXML in class CalculationSpecification

Returns:

A String that contains XML that represents the Aggregation.

getAggregationOperator

public AggregationOperator getAggregationOperator()

Gets the AggregationOperator associated with the Aggregation. The default aggregation operation is addition.

Returns:

The AggregationOperator associated with this Aggregation.

setAggregationOperator

public void setAggregationOperator(AggregationOperator input)

Specifies the aggregation operator for the Aggregation. If you do not specify an operator, then the operation is addition, which the default.

Parameters:

input - The AggregationOperator to associate with this Aggregation.

setAggregationArgument

public void setAggregationArgument(AggregationArgument input)

Specifies the AggregationArgument for the Aggregation. The AggregationArgument is a ConfigurationParameters object that has Parameter objects. Each Parameter has a keyword and value that specify an action that affects the aggregation.

Parameters:

input - The AggregationArgument for the Aggregation.

See Also:

Parameter

getAggregationArgument

public AggregationArgument getAggregationArgument()

Gets the AggregationArgument associated with the Aggregation.

Returns:

The AggregationArgument associated with the Aggregation.

createBaseOperator

public BaseOperator createBaseOperator()

Creates a BaseOperator and makes it the AggregationOperator for this Aggregation. The default value of the BaseOperator is SUM, which specifies addition as the method of aggregation. To specify a different operator value, call the setOpCode method of the BaseOperator returned by this method. See also setAggregationOperator(AggregationOperator input).

Returns:

The BaseOperator for the Aggregation.

createConfigurationParameters

public ConfigurationParameters createConfigurationParameters()

Creates a ConfigurationParameters object and makes it the AggregationArgument for this Aggregation. See also setAggregationArgument(AggregationArgument input).

Returns:

The ConfigurationParameters that is the AggregationArgument for the Aggregation.

Create

public java.lang.String Create(AWConnection connection,
                               int relationOffset)

Creates an Aggregation in the current analytic workspace of the specified database connection.

Parameters:

connection - The AWConnection that specifies the database connection.

relationOffset - An integer that specifies the position of the Aggregation in the list of CalculationSpecification objects.

Returns:

A String that contains success if the method successfully creates an Aggregation.
