SAS Namespace Types

Aggregation


Subclass of PrimaryType


Overview

A summary of detail data that is stored with or referred to by a Cube. Aggregations support rapid and efficient answers to business questions. Developers are discouraged from creating or consuming Cube metadata directly with the SAS Open Metadata Interface. Instead, Cubes should be defined by using either SAS OLAP Cube Studio or PROC OLAP. For more information, see the documentation for SAS OLAP Cube Studio and PROC OLAP.

Security Inheritance and Enforcement Rules

The following list of associations is used to determine if this object should inherit access controls from another object (inheritance), or if the association is allowed for the object (enforcement). An association will not be created unless the calling user is authorized to update one or both objects involved in the association. For more information about inheritance and enforcement rules, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
