Interface PreConditionObject

All Superinterfaces:

DataSourceObject

public interface PreConditionObject
extends DataSourceObject

Provides a representation of a precondition object in the universe. You can use a precondition object in a query condition.

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 PreConditionObject instances in a DataSourceSpecification.

Once you have obtained the keys for the PreConditionObject instances in a DataSourceSpecification you then add the keys for the objects that you want to include in your query condition to PreCondition instances. See PreCondition for details about how to include a PreConditionObject object in a query condition.

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 and QueryCondition instances). The QueryCondition interface is used to create a query condition.
