Enumeration Values

Name	Summary
ProcessDefault	Specifies that only the processing necessary to bring the target dimensions to a fully processed state will be performed. The Analysis Services engine will automatically determine what processing is required.
ProcessFull	Specifies that the target dimension and all subobjects will be processed in full, discarding the results of any previous processing operations.
ProcessClear	Specifies that the results of any previous processing operations on the target dimensions will be discarded.
ProcessData	Specifies that the data in target dimensions and all subobjects will be processed in full, discarding the results of any previous processing operations. No aggregations or indexes will be processed.
ProcessUpdate	Specifies that all attribute data will be read from the data source and dimension attributes will be updated. Flexible aggregations and indexes will be discarded from the relevant partitions.
ProcessIndexes	Specifies that the aggregations and indexes for target dimensions and all subobjects will be processed. An error will be raised if the target dimensions are not already in a processed state.
ProcessAdd	Specifies that new attribute data will be read from the data source and new dimension attributes will be added. This is equivalent to ProcessUpdate for the case where there are only new members and no changes to or deletions of existing members.
