Enum Constant Detail

GROUPED_MEASURES

public static final BusinessGroup.Type GROUPED_MEASURES

The function of this type is to allow measure to be visually grouped under one label within the table viewer. The following rules apply.

A Type.GROUPED_MEASURES group must reference a data item structure of "measure" defined in a data selection.

Cannot use nesting in GROUPED_MEASURES.

The same measure cannot exist in more than one applied GROUPED_MEASURE.

GROUPED_CATEGORIES

public static final BusinessGroup.Type GROUPED_CATEGORIES

The function of this type is to allow category data items to be functionally group together for a special purpose with a business query.
The type is reserved for future use.

FILTER

public static final BusinessGroup.Type FILTER

The function of this type allows functionally joined filter elements. A functionally joined filter element can be defined with a CUBE group.
The type is reserved for future use.

ELASTIC_FILTER

public static final BusinessGroup.Type ELASTIC_FILTER

The function of this type allows the functional association between filter elements in a bi-directional manner. This grouping is required for the use with the ElasticFilterDataProvider.

CUBE

public static final BusinessGroup.Type CUBE

A functional definition of this type allows for the definition of an in-memory data cube. The type is reserved for future use. A "Cube" group can only contain "Measure", "Dimension", "Hierarchy", "Grouped_Measures", "Filter" group type or nested "Cube" group type.

DIMENSION

public static final BusinessGroup.Type DIMENSION

The function of this type allows a dimension to be defined in a CUBE group.
The type is reserved for future use.

A Dimension Group can contain one or more "hierarchy" groups.
A "Dimension" group can only contain a "hierarchy" group type.

HIERARCHY

public static final BusinessGroup.Type HIERARCHY

The function of this type allows a hierarchy or hierarchies to be defined within a dimension that exists in a CUBE group.
The type is reserved for future use.

Each data element group within a HIEARCHY becomes the level definition for that hierarchy.
A order that data items are defined in a hierarchy is level order definition.
The data item order must be retained to insure correct aggregation within each level and hierarchy.
Each dataItem in a group represents a level in the hierarchy.
A data item can be a part of more than one hierarchy group.
Groups that contain the same elements can be applied to the same query, but not to the same axis.
A "hierarchy" group cannot be part of a "measure" group.
A "hierarchy" group must only reference "category" data item(s).

For example:

            Group (Geo1 contains data items - country, state, city)
            Group (Geo2 contains data items - state, city)

            SELECT 
               [MARKET].[GEOGRAPHICAL].MEMBERS       ON 0,
               [MARKET].[POPULATION].[STATE].MEMBERS ON 1
            FROM SimbaOr 

            SELECT 
               [MARKET].[GEOGRAPHICAL].MEMBERS ON 0,
               [MARKET].[POPULATION].MEMBERS   ON 1
            FROM SimbaOr

USER_DEFINED

public static final BusinessGroup.Type USER_DEFINED

The function of this type is to allow business items or other groups to group for a client's own application purpose. In this type, IQ performs no function associated to this group. This type works similar to folders in the information map.
The type is reserved for future use.

MEASURE

public static final BusinessGroup.Type MEASURE

The function of this type is to allow measure(s) to be functionally defined in CUBE group.
The type is reserved for future use.

TOTALS_DISABLED

public static final BusinessGroup.Type TOTALS_DISABLED

Disable Totals for the listed for the TotalingType value set in the Note field.

Method Detail

values

public static BusinessGroup.Type[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (BusinessGroup.Type c : BusinessGroup.Type.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:: an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static BusinessGroup.Type valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:: name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:: the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name; java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
