Common Attributes in a Subject Area Class

Lists attributes that are used throughout Business Intelligence subject area definitions.

Details

Most of the elements in the subject area have the following attributes, which are listed here for brevity:

Attribute	Purpose
name	Logical name of the element as specified in the base cube on which this subject area is based.
displayName	(Optional) Localized name of this element for use in user interfaces. If you do not specify this attribute, the user interface instead displays the logical name. For details, see Performing Localization.
description	(Optional) Description of this element. If you do not specify this attribute, the user interface instead displays the description specified in the cube definition.
disabled	(Optional) Controls whether the compiler uses the override defined by this element. If this attribute is "true" then the compiler ignores this override; this is equivalent to commenting out the override. By default, this attribute is "false" If the override is disabled, then the system uses the definition as given in the cube.
