Process Editor

These usability improvements have been implemented:

• Enumerations

  Together with the improved IntelliSense behavior, enums provide a better user experience when writing processes. These enum types have been added:

  • ProcessStatus
  • OlapSubsetAccess

  The enum syntax is [ENUMNAME].[ENUMMEMBER]. For example, OlapSubsetAccess. Press Ctrl+Space and IntelliSense offers you the All, Private, and Public constants.

• Method calls

  Method calls enable you to write shorter and more readable processes. To call a method requires an object on which to make the operations. For example, when the connection is the OLAP connection object from which you want to retrieve a list of dimensions, you can specify the connection. Press Ctrl+Space and use the IntelliSense auto-completion feature to select GetDimensionList from a list of all possible methods that can be performed on the object.

• Shortened arithmetical operators

  Use the new operators, +=, -=. *=, and /= to write, for example, i += 5 instead of i = i + 5.

• Increment and decrement operators

  Use the new operators ++ to increment or -- to decrement the value of an int variable by 1. For example, int a=i++. Here the value of i is first assigned to the variable a before it is incremented.
