DimensionAttributeType

DimensionAttributeType identifies the metrics, counters, and stopwatches that make up the hierarchical levels of a dimension. The dimension becomes a set of dimension tables in the cube that is created for the target monitoring context. DimensionAttributeType elements are used in the DimensionType element.

Elements

Name	Min-max	Description
description	0 - 1	A user-provided description of the dimension attribute type.

Attributes

Name	Required or optional	Type	Description
attributeSource	Required	String	A reference to the data element that is part of the dimension. attributeSource must be an absolute path to the metric, counter, or stopwatch.
level	Required	Positive integer	The granularity level. This attribute indicates where the dimension attribute fits in the hierarchy of dimension attributes.

Restrictions

• The attributeSource attribute must point to a valid metric, stopwatch, or counter in the monitoring context associated with the cube.

• If the attributeSource attribute refers to a metric, that metric must receive a value upon creation of the monitoring context.
