public interface IBIInputReference
extends IBIIdentifiable

An adapter for plugging different types of objects as in-out parameters into various expressions that are used in the OLAP Query Model. To illustrate, the attribute expression of the IBISort MemberSetExpression is of the type IBIInputReference. This reference yields the sort criterion that is used for processing the sort operation. Of course, different types of objects can serve as meaningful sort criteria, such as the numeric value of a measure or the string value of a dimension attribute. The advantage of this design is that the referenced objects are just referenced by the adapter, but do not have to implement the adapter interface themselves.

There are three kinds of InputReferences:

  1. Adapter classes, such as:
  2. NumericValueFunctions, such as:
  3. Operations, such as:
