   ...  
   <Source>...</Source>  
   ...  
</Cube>

Element Characteristics

Data type and length See the table below.
Default value None
Cardinality 0-1: Optional element that can occur once and only once.

Cube DataSourceViewBinding
DataItem Any data type derived from Binding, depending on the parent of DataItem. For more information, see Remarks.
Dimension CubeDimensionBinding, DataSourceViewBinding, DimensionBinding, TimeBinding
DimensionAttribute AttributeBinding, UserDefinedGroupBinding
MeasureGroup MeasureGroupBinding
MeasureGroupDimension MeasureGroupDimensionBinding
