IMetaAttribute.ValuesObject

Syntax

ValuesObject: IMetabaseObjectDescriptor;

Description

The ValuesObject property determines an object, to which an attribute refers.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a time series database with the OBJ_FC identifier and an MDM repository with the RDS_REPO identifier. The MDM repository must have the dictionary with the DICT_COUNTRY identifier.

Sub Main;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Rubr: IRubricator;
    Facts: IMetabaseObject;
    Att: IMetaAttribute;
    CollectionAtt: IMetaAttributes;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Rubr := MB.ItemById("OBJ_FC").Bind As IRubricator;
    Facts := (Rubr.Facts As IMetabaseObject).Edit;
    Att := (Facts As IMetaDictionary).Attributes.Add;
    Att.DataType := DbDataType.Integer;
    Att.Id := "A_M_REF";
    Att.Name := New attribute;
    Att.Kind := (MetaAttributeKind.Collection) Or (MetaAttributeKind.Dimension);
    Att.ValuesObject := MB.ItemByIdNamespace("DICT_COUNTRY", Mb.ItemById("RDS_REPO").Key);
    Att.DataType := DbDataType.Integer;
    Att.HasMultipleValues := True;
    CollectionAtt := Att.CollectionAttributes;
    CollectionAtt.BuildCollectionAttributes;
    CollectionAtt.CreateTable(True);
    Facts.Save;
End Sub Main;

After executing the example,the attribute named New Attribute is added to the dictionary that contains information about time series of the database with the OBJ_FC identifier. This attribute is a link to the dictionary and supports multiple values. A system table is also created to store multiple values.
