Otherwise, a new element is created and then the relation is created. Moreover, if the element already has a parent element, then a new parent element is added. As a result, the element has two parents and each of the parent-child relations has its own weight. This overload makes it possible to set the weight directly.

Supported Runtime Versions

5.0

Parameters Description
connection A connection to an OLAP server.
dimension Name of the dimension.
hierarchy Name of the hierarchy.
element The element that should receive a new parent.
newParent The element's new parent.

Return Value

ErrorId as received from the OLAP server. If successful, it returns 0.

OLAPAddParentElement

Declaration

int OLAPAddParentElement(OLAPConnection connection, string dimension, string hierarchy, StringList elements, string newParent, bool throwException)

Description

Adds a new parent-child relationship between a parent and a list of elements. If a parent element of that name already exists, then only the parent-child relation is created. Otherwise, a new element is created and then the relation is created. This function sets the weight of the relation to the default value, which is 1. Moreover, if the element already has a parent element, then a new parent element is added. As a result, the element has two parents and each of the parent-child relations has its own weight. This overload does not allow you to control atomicity. Partial failures are ignored.

Supported Runtime Versions

4.0, 5.0

Parameters Description
connection A connection to an OLAP server.

Description

Adds a new parent-child relationship between a parent and a list of elements. If a parent element of that name already exists, then only the parent-child relation is created. Otherwise, a new element is created and then the relation is created. This function sets the weight of the relation to the default value, which is 1. Moreover, if the element already has a parent element, then a new parent element is added. As a result, the element has two parents and each of the parent-child relations has its own weight. This overload makes it possible to control the atomicity of the request.

Return Value

Instance of StringListList that carries information about partial errors. If no error occurred, the StringListList is empty. In case of any partial errors, it contains the StringList instance for each partial failure. Each StringList contains six strings with this meaning [position in the command buffer, error code, operation type, element1, element2, error message].
