ESB_ATTRIBUTE_DIMENSION is an attribute dimension. ESB_ATTRIBUTE_MEMBER is a member of an attribute dimension. See ESB_ATTRIBUTEQUERY_T. Also see EsbCheckAttributes. | |
ESB_ATTRIBUTED_MEMBER is a member (of a base dimension) which has an attribute member associated with it. See ESB_ATTRIBUTEQUERY_T. Also see EsbCheckAttributes. | |
ESB_BASE_DIMENSION is a standard dimension that has an attribute dimension associated with it. ESB_BASE_MEMBER is a member of a base dimension. See ESB_ATTRIBUTEQUERY_T. Also see EsbCheckAttributes. | |
ESB_STANDARD_DIMENSION is any dimension that is not an attribute dimension. ESB_STANDARD_MEMBER is a member of a standard dimension. See ESB_ATTRIBUTEQUERY_T. Also see EsbCheckAttributes. | |
A zero-level attribute member that is not of type ESB_ATTRMBRDT_STRING is uniquely identified by a long name. A zero-level attribute member of type ESB_ATTRMBRDT_STRING must itself be unique.
