Properties
The following table lists all of the properties for WHODTTBL and indicates how you can use each property with metadata API methods
In the table, you can pass properties with a Yes in the Add column to the
_ADD_METADATA_ method Use this method to add a new object
You can pass properties with a Yes in the Update column to the
_UPDATE_METADATA_ method Use this method to update properties of an existing object
* Req indicates that the property is required; you must provide a value for this property when you use a given method * Default indicates that the system will provide
a default value for that property if you do not provide one
Properties with a Yes in the Read Method Expand Parm column are valid with the expand parameter of the _GET_METADATA_ method This method enables you to get
detailed metadata about a property and its associated objects through a single method call

WHOLPCRS
Metadata type for OLAP crossing
Category: Object Types—OLAP

Parent
“WHOLAP” on page 188
Overview
WHOLPCRS models the metadata for OLAP crossings in OLAP tables, groups, and
MDDBs A crossing is a unique list of zero or more class columns that defines a
summarization level (subtable) to be stored in one or more OLAP summary data stores That is, a crossing represents a grouping on which summary statistics are calculated You must have at least one crossing for an OLAP table or an OLAP MDDB, and both summary data stores can have multiple crossings All class columns must be in at least one crossing
Properties
The following table lists all of the properties for WHOLPCRS and indicates how you can use each property with metadata API methods
In the table, you can specify properties with a Yes in the Indirect Add column when
you indirectly add one object through another, as described in the documentation for the _UPDATE_METADATA_ method Use this approach to add a new dependent object For details, see “Using _UPDATE_METADATA_” on page 46
You can pass properties with a Yes in the Update column to the
_UPDATE_METADATA_ method, as described in the documentation for this method Use this method to update properties of an existing object For details, see “Using _UPDATE_METADATA_” on page 46
* Req indicates that the property is required; you must provide a value for this property when you use a given method * Default indicates that the system will provide
a default value for that property if you do not provide one * Auto supplied means that
the property is automatically supplied; any value that you specify for such a property is ignored
