Analysis Services Scripting Language XML Elements (ASSL)

Although the Analysis Services Scripting Language (ASSL) schema contains only XML elements, from a developer's point of view, these elements correspond to the following concepts:

• Objects, such as Database, Cube, and Dimension objects, in the hierarchy of objects contained by an instance of [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] [!INCLUDEssASnoversion].

• Collections of objects, such as the Dimensions and Cubes collections.

• Properties, such as Name and Description, that describe objects.

• Data types, such as Binding and Permission, that are used to define the child elements and properties of other objects.

  [!NOTE]
  This section does not cover data type elements. For more information, see, Analysis Services Scripting Language XML Data Types (ASSL).
