Class Dimension

com.sas.storage.olap.sasmdx.Dimension

All Implemented Interfaces:

DimensionInterface, MetadataEntityInterface

public class Dimension
implements DimensionInterface

Contains the client side implementation for com.sas.storage.olap.DimensionInterface. This implementation uses the IOM/OLAP interfaces provided by the SAS OLAP server. There actually aren't any remote calls in this particular class. All remote metadata calls are made from within the MetadataInterface implementation.
