IsShared

The IsShared property of the Dimension interface indicates whether a dimension object can be shared among multiple MDStore objects. A dimension object that can be shared has a name in the form “MyDim”. A dimension object that is private to a cube has a name of the form “MyCube^MyDim” where “MyCube” is the cube that contains the dimension. The value of a database dimension’s IsShared property is inherited by the associated cubes (and their partitions, aggregations, and virtual cubes).

Example

Use the following code to determine whether a dimension object can be shared with other dimension objects:

'Assume an object (dsoDim) of ClassType clsDatabaseDimension exists

Dim bShared As Boolean

bShared = dsoDim.IsShared

If bShared Then

    'Code for a shared dimension

Else

    'Code for a private dimension

End If
