Creating an MdmMetadataProvider

An MdmMetadataProvider gives access to the metadata in a data store. It maps OLAP metadata objects, such as measures, dimensions, and measure folders, to the corresponding MDM objects, such as MdmMeasure, MdmDimension, and MdmSchema.

Before you can create an MdmMetadataProvider, you must create a DataProvider as described in Chapter 3, "Connecting to a Data Store".

The following code creates an MdmMetadataProvider using a DataProvider called dp.

Example 4-1 Creating an MdmMetadataProvider

MdmMetadataProvider mp = null;
mp = (MdmMetadataProvider) dp.getDefaultMetadataProvider();
