Methods (XMLA)

The XML for Analysis (XMLA) protocol uses two methods, Discover and Execute, to offer a standard way for applications to access information on an instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS). Because these methods are invoked by using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), they accept input and deliver output in XML. Analysis Services implements both methods, in compliance with the XML for Analysis 1.1 specification.

本节内容

Execute Method (XMLA)

Sends XMLA commands to an instance of Analysis Services. This includes requests involving data transfer, such as retrieving or updating data on the server.
