The LastUpdated property of the Dimension interface is not used by OLAP Services. You can set this to any date/time value you want, for instance, to indicate when the source data was last changed.
| clsAggregationDimension | clsDatabaseDimension |
| clsCubeDimension | clsPartitionDimension |
Date
The access type depends on the class of the dimension object.
| Class | Access |
|---|---|
| clsDatabaseDimension | R/W |
| clsCubeDimension | R |
| clsPartitionDimension | R |
| clsAggregationDimension | R |
The LastUpdated property is not automatically set by any Decision Support Objects (DSO) method. It is provided as a means for client applications to indicate a date or time as to the validity of information. For example, a date of 12/31/96 may mean that the information stored in a cube is not valid after December of 1996.
Use the following code to update an out-of date dimension :
'Assume an object (dsoDim) of ClassType clsDatabaseDimension exists
If dsoDim.LastUpdated < date Then
'Code to update dimension
End If
