To work with the object:

Create the cube dimensions collection using the Dimensions property. If the new dimensions are saved for the cube, in the RdsDatabase property it is possible to determine the MDM repository, in which the corresponding MDM table dictionaries will be created. If the MDM repository is not determined, MDM table dictionaries will be created in the database determined in the Database property.
Create the cube facts collection using the Facts property.
If table is ready to store the cube data, select the Table and set up the binding of dimensions and facts using the ICubeCreatorDimension.Fields andICubeCreatorFact.Field properties respectively. If the table is missing, the database, specify the database in the Database property, in which the table is created automatically on cube creation. All bindings are also automatically set up.
To create a cube, call the CreateCube method; to edit the existing cube structure, call the EditCube method.
