Remarks

New:17 July 2006

Action is an abstract class. Classes derived from Action are DrillThroughAction, ReportAction, and StandardAction. The action types associated with each class are listed in the following table.

Class	Action Type
DrillThroughAction	DrillThrough
ReportAction	Report
StandardAction	CommandLine Dataset Html Proprietary Rowset Statement Url

Setting DrillThroughAction to a type other than DrillThrough generates an OperationException when the cube is updated. There is no compilation error for this mistake.

Setting ReportAction to a type other than Report generates an OperationException when the cube is updated. There is no compilation error for this mistake.
