IMDCalculation.TimeDependencyEnabled

Syntax

TimeDependencyEnabled: Boolean;

Description

The TimeDependencyEnabled property determines whether time dependency can be set for formulas.

Comments

This property returns True if the consumer contains a calendar dimension, otherwise it returns False.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a database with the DB identifier and two standard cubes with the CUBE_INPUT and CUBE_OUTPUT identifiers. The cube with the CUBE_OUTPUT identifier must contain a calendar dimension.

Add links to the Cubes, Db and Metabase system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    CrInfo: IMetabaseObjectCreateInfo;
    MObj: IMetabaseObject;
    MDCalc: IMDCalculation;
    Cube: ICubeModel;
    Source: IMDCalculationSource;
    Destination: IMDCalculationDestination;
    FormulasTable: IMDCalculationFormulasTable;
    TableForFormulas: ITable;
Begin
    // Get current repository
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Create an object and set its parameters
    CrInfo := MB.CreateCreateInfo;
    CrInfo.ClassID := MetabaseObjectClass.KE_CLASS_MDCALCULATION;
    CrInfo.Id := MB.GenerateId("MDCALC");
    CrInfo.Name := "Multidimensional calculation on server";
    CrInfo.Parent := Null;
    // Get the Multidimensional Calculation on Server object
    MObj := MB.CreateObject(CrInfo).Edit;
    MDCalc := MObj As IMDCalculation;
    // Add a database
    MDCalc.Database := MB.ItemById("DB").Bind As IDatabase;
    // Specify source cube
    Cube := MB.ItemById("CUBE_INPUT").Bind As ICubeModel;
    Source := MDCalc.Sources.AddCube(Cube);
    // Specify destination cube
    Destination := MDCalc.Destination;
    Destination.SetCube(MB.ItemById("CUBE_OUTPUT").Bind As ICubeModel);
    // Create a new formulas table
    If MDCalc.TimeDependencyEnabled Then
        MDCalc.TimeDependent := True;
    End If;
    FormulasTable := MDCalc.FormulasTable;
    TableForFormulas := FormulasTable.Create;
    FormulasTable.Attach(TableForFormulas);
    // Save Multidimensional Calculation on Server
    MObj.Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the Multidimensional Calculation on DB Server object is created in the repository root, for which a source cube and a destination cube are set, a new formulas table is created, formula actual period can be enabled.
