Data storage

The extended properties of the fact cube store the information on which dimensions support dynamic attributes.

For example:

<Alea:DynamicAttributes>
   <Alea:Dimension Name="ATD_Employees">
      <Alea:AttributeCube Name="ATCData_Employees" />
   </Alea:Dimension>
      <Alea:Dimension Name="ATD_Jobs">
      <Alea:AttributeCube Name="ATCData_Jobs" />
   </Alea:Dimension>
   …
</Alea:DynamicAttributes>

This information is stored:

Dimension is repeated for each dimension that supports dynamic attributes. The name of the dimension is stored here.
AttributeCube is the name of the cube that contains the attribute data.

This additional information is stored on the dynamic attribute cube:

Dimension is the name of the dimension that is receiving the dynamic attributes.
AttributeDimension is the name of the dimension holding the attributes.
DriverDimension is the name of the driver dimension.
ApplicabilityAttribute is the name of the attribute that defines if the driver dimension is applicable for this attribute. The default is true.
NonApplicableElement is the name of the element that is used in this dimension if the driver dimension is not applicable.

<Alea:DynamicAttributeConfiguration>
   <Alea:Dimension Name="ATD_Employee" />
   <Alea:AttributeDimension Name="ATDAttribute_Employees" />
   <Alea:DriverDimensions>
   <Alea:DriverDimension Name="ATD_Configuration sets">
      <Alea:ApplicabilityAttribute Name="Configuration set_applicable" />
      <Alea:NonApplicableElement Name="N.A." />
   </Alea:DriverDimension> 
   <Alea:DriverDimension Name="ATD_Entities">
      <Alea:ApplicabilityAttribute Name="Entity_applicable" />
      <Alea:NonApplicableElement Name="N.A." />
   </Alea:DriverDimension> 
   …
   </Alea:DriverDimensions>
