XML Elements - Objects

The XML for Analysis (XMLA) protocol uses two methods, Discover and Execute, to offer a standard way for applications to access information on an instance of [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] [!INCLUDEssASnoversion]. Because these methods are invoked by using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) protocol, they accept input and deliver output in XML.

In This Section

The following topics describe the XMLA objects implemented by [!INCLUDEssAS].

Method	Description
DiscoverResponse Element (XMLA)	Contains the information returned by an instance of [!INCLUDEssASnoversion] in response to a Discover method call.
ExecuteResponse Element (XMLA)	Contains the information returned by an instance of [!INCLUDEssASnoversion] in response to an Execute method call.
