ICubeModelAlternateSource.DimensionCount

Syntax

DimensionCount: Integer;

Description

The DimensionCount property returns the number of dimensions added to the dimensions list. The data will be loaded from the alternative cube by the coordinates of dimensions.

Comments

Dimensions are absent in the list by default. And the data loading is determined by alternative cube settings. If the UseExecute property is set to True, all data is loaded from the alternative cube otherwise data is loaded from the source cube data source.

If any dimensions are added to the list, on opening the source cube the alternative cube is checked added point by added point if it contains data. If any points of one dimension contains data, data is loaded from the alternative cube by all coordinates, into which this point is included. The loading from the source cube data source is made by all points, for which data in the alternative cube is absent.

NOTE. This mechanism is supported only for standard cubes.
