save data selected in cube browser tab

Hi,

I'm using cube browser tab for browsing for interesting cube data. Once selection is made, I want to save results to file.

Also, I would like to use cube actions and their involved features to accomplich that. Is it possible to make my own custom save method, wich will be used from various application for cube browsing, such ProClarity is.

Does someone know something about...

with regards

Hi,

Cube browser in the BIDS or SSMS is not an "end user OLAP tool". It's just for developers wanting to check if everything is running the way they wanted. So saving queries is not something cube browser was build for.

Why do you want to have you own "save" method? ProClarity has many ways to save a query... Actions (as far as I know) only provide you the actual "position" in the cube, not the complete result set of your query or the underlying MDX to create the actual query... But I might be wrong with this assumption...

Hi Thomas and thank you for replay

Actually, we are looking how to implement some our code throught the cube actions in order to link analisys and cube browsing with our application. At first We were thinking of making custom "save" method to enable end-users to save selection made by cube browser tab. But it looks like that can't be.

Do you or someone knows what kind of programming can be done by cube actions? Are we limited only to MDX abilties and if so what values of current selection can we get using MDX?

Thank you in advance
