CommandType (Command Interface)
Note
This feature will be removed in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible.
The CommandType property of the Command interface contains an enumeration constant that identifies the command option.
Applies To:clsCubeCommand, clsDatabaseCommand, clsRoleCommand
Data Type
Access
Read/write
Remarks
The value of CommandType determines how the Analysis server interprets the command object. The following table lists the possible values.
| Command type | Description |
|---|---|
cmdCreateAction |
The command contains a CREATE ACTION statement. For more information, see CREATE ACTION Statement. |
cmdCreateMember |
The command defines one or more calculated members. |
cmdCreateSet |
The command defines one or more sets of existing members. |
cmdUseLibrary |
The command specifies a third-party DLL that contains functions to be registered for use in Multidimensional Expressions (MDX). |
cmdUnknown |
The command defines statements that are not included in any of the other command types, such as DROP MEMBER statements or new statements that may be added to future versions. |
cmdCreateCellCalculation |
The command defines a calculated cells definition. |
Important
To ensure compatibility with Analysis Manager, you should create only one action, calculated member, named set, or calculated cells definition per command.
