he
IEssIterator.getAt
method returns a generic object that you must cast to an
IEssMember
before use. Further, if you run
executeQuery
multiple times, you must fetch
all of the member objects returned for one
executeQuery
before calling
executeQuery
a
second time. The results from this execute query are below.
=== IEssMemberSelection.executeQuery-0 ===
Name: 100-10
Level: 0
Parent: 100
Related Members-Parent: Error: Cannot get related member names.
Essbase Error(1013384): Unknown Error: Not a valid entry
=== IEssMemberSelection.executeQuery-1 ===
Name: 100-20
Level: 0
Parent: 100
Related Members-Parent: Error: Cannot get related member names.
Essbase Error(1013384): Unknown Error: Not a valid entry
=== IEssMemberSelection.executeQuery-2 ===
Name: 100-30
Level: 0
Parent: 100
Related Members-Parent: Error: Cannot get related member names.
Essbase Error(1013384): Unknown Error: Not a valid entry
There are a couple of things to note from these results. First, you can easily see from
the exception raised by the
getRelatedMembers
method that the
IEssMember
objects are
partially described objects. Also, you should note that the base member is not returned,
so if you need information about that member, you may need to do a separate query.
As this query returns members based on a relationship, any shared members that are
returned
should
show the proper parent member. here is an example of this overload
that returns the children of Diet.
// execute the query on a parent of shared members
selection.executeQuery("Diet", EssMemberSelection.QUERY_TYPE_
CHILDREN,
0, "Product", null, null, 0, 1000);
As we are querying for the children of Diet, it seems that the objects returned by this
query should have
Diet
as the parent. however, it appears that this overload does not
properly return shared members.
