IsReadWrite (Dimension Interface)

The IsReadWrite property of the Dimension interface determines whether dimension writebacks are available to end users who have been granted appropriate permissions.

Applies To

clsAggregationDimension

clsCubeDimension

clsDatabaseDimension

clsPartitionDimension

Data Type

Boolean

Access

Access depends on the value of the ClassType property of the object.

Class type Access
ClsDatabaseDimension R/W*
ClsCubeDimension R
ClsPartitionDimension R
ClsAggregationDimension R

* Read/write for clsDatabaseDimension objects with a SubClassType of sbclsParentChild, read-only for all other clsDatabaseDimension objects.

Remarks

Setting the IsReadWrite property to True allows end users who have been granted appropriate permissions to modify the contents of a parent-child dimension. They can add or remove dimension levels, members, and member properties.

A write-enabled dimension cannot be added to a cube that contains a remote partition. An error occurs if you try to:

  • Add a write-enabled dimension to a cube with at least one remote partition.

  • Add a remote partition to a cube that contains at least one write-enabled dimension.

  • Set the IsReadWrite property to True for a dimension used by a cube that has a remote partition.
