Interface Measure

All Superinterfaces:

DataSourceObject

public interface Measure
extends DataSourceObject

The Measure interface represents a measure object in the universe. You can use a measure object as a query result,query condition, or query scope object in a query.

The DataSourceSpecification for a universe contains zero or more DataSourceClass instances. Each of these DataSourceClass instances contains zero or more instances of objects that inherit from the DataSourceObject interface. Essentially, this means that the DataSourceClass instances in a given DataSourceSpecification contain Detail, Dimension, Measure, and PreConditionObject instances that can be used to construct a query.

See DataSourceObject for information about how to find Measure instances in a DataSourceSpecification.

After you obtain the keys for the Measure instances in a DataSourceSpecification, add the keys for the objects that you want to include in your query to QueryObject instances. See QueryObject for details about how to include a Measure object in a query.

Note: The QuerySpecification interface is the root interface for a query. It contains CombinedQuery instances which, in turn, contain Query instances (which then contain QueryObject instances).
