DESCRIPTION

xsd:string

A description of the level.

CUSTOM_ROLLUP_SETTINGS

xsd:int

A bitmask that specifies the custom rollup options:

  • 0x01 - Indicates that a custom rollup expression exists for this level.

  • 0x02 - Indicates that members of this level have custom rollup expressions.

  • 0x04 - Indicates that there is a skipped level associated with members of this level.

  • 0x08 - Indicates that members of this level have custom member properties.

  • 0x10 - Indicates that members on this level have unary operators.

LEVEL_UNIQUE_SETTINGS

xsd:int

A bitmask that specifies which columns contain unique values, if the level only has members with unique names or keys:

  • 0x00000001 - Member key columns establish uniqueness.

  • 0x00000002 - Member name columns establish uniqueness.

LEVEL_IS_VISIBLE

xsd:boolean

When true, indicates that the level is visible; otherwise false.

LEVEL_ORDERING_PROPERTY

xsd:string

The name of the attribute on which the level is sorted.

LEVEL_DBTYPE

xsd:int

The type of the member key column that is used for the level attribute. It MUST be null if concatenated keys are used as the member key column.

Type values are described in the following list:

  • 0 – (DBTYPE_EMPTY) Indicates that no value was specified.

  • 2 – (DBTYPE_I2) Indicates a two-byte signed integer.

  • 3 – (DBTYPE_I4) Indicates a four-byte signed integer.

  • 4 – (DBTYPE_R4) Indicates a single-precision floating-point value.

  • 5 – (DBTYPE_R8) Indicates a double-precision floating-point value.

  • 6 – (DBTYPE_CY) Indicates a currency value. Currency is a fixed-point number with four digits to the right of the decimal point and is stored in an eight-byte signed integer scaled by 10,000.

  • 7 – (DBTYPE_DATE) Indicates a date value. Date values are stored as Double, the whole part of which is the number of days since December 30, 1899, and the fractional part of which is the fraction of a day.

  • 8 – (DBTYPE_BSTR) A pointer to a BSTR, which is a null-terminated character string in which the string length is stored with the string.

  • 9 – (DBTYPE_IDISPATCH) Indicates a pointer to an IDispatch interface on an OLE object.

  • 10 – (DBTYPE_ERROR) Indicates a 32-bit error code.

  • 11 – (DBTYPE_BOOL) Indicates a Boolean value.

  • 12 – (DBTYPE_VARIANT) Indicates an Automation variant.

  • 13 – (DBTYPE_IUNKNOWN) Indicates a pointer to an IUnknown interface on an OLE object.

  • 14 – (DBTYPE_DECIMAL) Indicates an exact numeric value with a fixed precision and scale. The scale is between 0 and 28.

  • 16 – (DBTYPE_I1) Indicates a one-byte signed integer.

  • 17 – (DBTYPE_UI1) Indicates a one-byte unsigned integer.

  • 131 – (DBTYPE_NUMERIC) Indicates an exact numeric value with a fixed precision and scale. The scale is between 0 and 38.

  • 132 – (DBTYPE_UDT) Indicates a user-defined variable.

  • 133 – (DBTYPE_DBDATE) Indicates a date value (yyyymmdd).

  • 134 – (DBTYPE_DBTIME) Indicates a time value (hhmmss).

  • 135 – (DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP) Indicates a date-time stamp (yyyymmddhhmmss plus a fraction in billionths).

  • 136 - (DBTYPE_HCHAPTER) Indicates a four-byte chapter value used to identify rows in a child rowset.

LEVEL_MASTER_UNIQUE_NAME

The number of columns in the level key.

LEVEL_ORIGIN

xsd:unsignedShort

Yes

A bitmask that defines how the level was sourced:

  • 0x0001 - Identifies levels in a user defined hierarchy.

  • 0x0002 - Identifies levels in an attribute hierarchy.

  • 0x0004 - Identifies levels in a key attribute hierarchy.

  • 0x0008 - Identifies levels in attribute hierarchies that are not enabled.

The response has the following definition.
