DR 09-0069: SML, Pivot Tables: longText attribute length

[Shawn Villaron]

Here is the proposed text change for this defect report ( in the table ):

DR 09-0069 - SML, Pivot Tables: longText attribute length
Part 1, §18.10.1.90 will be updated as follows:
18.10.1.90      sharedItems (Shared Items)
Represents the collection of unique items for a field in the PivotCacheDefinition. The sharedItems complex type stores data type and formatting information about the data in a field. Items in the PivotCacheDefinition can be shared in order to reduce the redundancy of those values that are referenced in multiple places across all the PivotTable parts. [Example: A value might be part of a filter, it might appear on a row or column axis, and will appear in the pivotCacheRecords definition as well. However, because of the performance cost of creating the optimized shared items, items are only shared if they are actually in use in the PivotTable. Therefore, depending on user actions on the PivotTable layout, the pivotCacheDefinition and underlying PivotCacheRecords part can be updated. end example]
If there are no shared items, then field values are stored directly in the pivotCacheRecords part.
[Example:

<sharedItems count="1">
  <s v="[Customer].[Customer Geography].[Country].&amp;[United States]"
    c="United States"/>
</sharedItems>
end example]
The following attributes are not required or used if there are no items in sharedItems.

·         containsBlank

·         containsSemiMixedTypes

·         containsMixedTypes

·         longText
The following attributes are not used unless there is more than one item in sharedItems or the one and only item is not a blank item.  If the first item is a blank item the data type the field cannot be verified.

·         containsNumber

·         containsDates

·         containsString

·         containsInteger
The following attributes can be omitted without loss of functionality.

·         containsNonDate

·         count
The following attributes are not required and can be omitted.  However, refreshing the PivotTable could produce different groupings than before.

·         maxDate

·         minDate

·         maxValue

·         minValue
Applications should ensure  that "date" attributes are not mixed with "value" attributes.
