IEaxDataAreaSliceProperties.Slice

Fore Syntax

Slice: IEaxDataAreaSlice;

Fore.NET Syntax

Slice: Proznoz.Platform.Interop.Express.IEaxDataAreaSlice;

Description

The Slice property returns parent object.

Comments

The following can be used as data sources:

All types of cubes.
Time series databases.
Relational objects: tables, queries, views, external tables, ODBS data sources.
Express reports.
Files.
Other sources: modeling variables and file cubes (*.ppcube files).

Fore Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a regular report with the REG_REPORT_SLICE identifier. Report contains several data slices.

Add links to the Express, Metabase and Report system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    RegRep: IPrxReport;
    DataArea: IEaxDataArea;
    DataAreaSlices: IEaxDataAreaSlices;
    DataAreaSlice: IEaxDataAreaSlice;
    Properties: IEaxDataAreaSliceProperties;
    Slice: IEaxDataAreaSlice;
    id: String;
    i: integer;
Begin
    // Get repository
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get regular report
    RegRep := MB.ItemById("REG_REPORT_SLICE").Bind As IPrxReport;
    // Get collection of data slices
    DataArea := RegRep.DataArea;
    DataAreaSlices := DataArea.Slices;
    // Display identifiers of slices parent objects to the console
    For i := 0 To DataAreaSlices.Count - 1 Do
        DataAreaSlice := DataAreaSlices.Item(i);
        Properties := DataAreaSlice.Properties;
        Slice := Properties.Slice;
        id := Slice.Id;
        Debug.WriteLine("Parent objecrt identifier of data slice = " + id);
    End For;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the console displays identifiers of parent objects of data slices.
