DimensionType describes the dimensions that make up a cube. A dimension is used to query a subset of data, such as querying by a certain geography.

Elements

attribute	1 - n	The dimensions that make up the cube. All attributes must refer to a metric, counter, or stopwatch in the monitoringContext specified in the cube.
description	0 - 1	A user-provided description of the dimension type.

Attributes

Name	Required or optional	Type	Description
displayName	Optional	String	The name to display in the Monitor Model editor and Business Monitor dashboards. If a displayName is not provided, the ID attribute is used.
id	Required	String	The unique identifier of the element.

Restrictions

• The id attribute must not be CreationTime or TerminationTime (these IDs are reserved).

• If a DimensionAttributeType:attributeSource is of type date or dateTime, it must be the only DimensionAttributeType in the DimensionType.
• Dimension attribute levels must start at 1, must be consecutive, and must not repeat.
