Element Relationships RELATIONSHIP ELEMENT Parent elements MiningModel Element, MiningModelPermission, MiningStructurePermission Child elements None Remarks The elements that correspond to the parents of AllowDrillThrough in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model are MiningModel, MiningModelPermission, and MiningStructurePermission. Drillthrough on Mining Structures In SQL Server 2016, you can define AllowDrillthrough permissions for mining structures as well as mining models. When you assign this permission to a role, any member of that role can query the data mining model, and return structure columns that were not included in the model. For example, you create a model that uses only these columns: customer key, customer income, and customer purchases. If you enable drillthrough on the model, users can return information in other columns of the mining structure, such as customer e-mails or names. Therefore, to protect sensitive data, use caution when you add columns to the mining structure. Also, grant AllowDrillthrough permission on a structure only when it is required. To drill through to structure columns, use a query with one of the following forms: SELECT * FROM <structure>.CASES or SELECT StructureColumn('<structure-column-name>') FROM <model>.CASES See Also Role Element (ASSL) Properties (ASSL) AllowDuplicateNames Element (ASSL) 3/24/2017 • 1 min to read • Edit Online Determines whether duplicate names are allowed in a Hierarchy element.

Default value Not applicable Cardinality 0-1: Optional element that can occur one time and only one time. Element Relationships RELATIONSHIP ELEMENT Parent element MiningStructure Child elements None Remarks The value for HoldoutActualSize depends on the source data, and on the values for HoldoutMaxCases, HoldoutMaxPercent, and HoldoutSeed. Therefore, the value for HoldoutActualSize is not available until after Analysis Services processes the mining structure. The element that corresponds to the parent of HoldoutActualSize in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model is MiningStructure. NOTE In SQL Server 2005, Analysis Services did not support the use of holdout partitions on a mining structure. Therefore, Analysis Services Scripting Language (ASSL) statements that contain one of the holdout parameters, HoldoutMaxCases, HoldoutMaxPercent, HoldoutSeed, or HoldoutActualSize, cannot be used in SQL Server 2005. If you use one of these holdout parameters in an ASSL statement in SQL Server 2005, Analysis Services will return an error.

Default value 0 Cardinality 0-1: Optional element that can occur one time and one time only. Element Relationships RELATIONSHIP ELEMENT Parent element MiningStructure Child elements None Remarks If you specify values for both HoldoutMaxPercent and HoldoutMaxCases, the algorithm limits the test set to the smaller of the two values. If HoldoutMaxCases is set to the default of 0, and a value has not been set for HoldoutMaxPercent, the algorithm uses the entire data set for training. The new properties HoldoutMaxCases, HoldoutMaxPercent, HoldoutSeed, or HoldoutActualSize are available only in SQL Server 2008 and later versions. Therefore, you must prefix these properties with the new namespace as shown in the syntax description, or Analysis Services will return an error. NOTE In SQL Server 2005, Analysis Services did not support the use of holdout partitions on a mining structure. Therefore, Analysis Services Scripting Language (ASSL) statements that contain one of the holdout parameters, HoldoutMaxCases, HoldoutMaxPercent, HoldoutSeed, or HoldoutActualSize, cannot be used in SQL Server 2005.

Element Relationships RELATIONSHIP ELEMENT Parent element MiningStructure Child elements None Remarks If you specify values for both HoldoutMaxPercent and HoldoutMaxCases, the algorithm limits the test set to the smaller of the two values. If HoldoutMaxCases is set to the default of 0, and a value has not been set for HoldoutMaxPercent, the algorithm uses the complete data set for training. The new properties HoldoutMaxCases, HoldoutMaxPercent, HoldoutSeed, or HoldoutActualSize are available only in SQL Server 2008 and later versions. Therefore, you must prefix these properties by using the new namespace as shown in the syntax description, or Analysis Services will return an error.

See Also Properties (ASSL) HoldoutMaxCases Element HoldoutSeed Element HoldoutActualSize Element HoldoutSeed Element 3/24/2017 • 1 min to read • Edit Online Specifies the seed for a repeatable holdout partition that contains the test set of a MiningStructure element. This seed ensures that the model content remains the same during reprocessing. If unspecified or set to 0, Analysis Services creates a seed by using a hashing algorithm on the name of the mining structure. Syntax <MiningStructure> ... <ddl100_100:HoldoutSeed>...</ddl100_100:HoldoutSeed> ... </MiningStructure> Element Characteristics CHARACTERISTIC DESCRIPTION Data type and length Long Default value 0 Cardinality 0-1: Optional element that can occur one time and one time only. Element Relationships RELATIONSHIP ELEMENT Parent element MiningStructure Child elements None Remarks When you first create a mining structure, the ID and the name are the same. However, you can change the name of the mining structure. Therefore, if you want to ensure that the partition is repeatable, you should not rely on the seed created by the name, but should explicitly set a seed. Additionally, when you create a copy of a mining structure by using the EXPORT statement, Analysis Services will retain the name for the new mining structure but will automatically generate a new ID. Therefore, it is possible to have two mining structures that share the same name but have different IDs. Any two mining structures that have the same name will have the same seed. However, as the partitioning of the data also depends on the source data, the actual contents of the partitions in each structure may be different. The new properties HoldoutMaxCases, HoldoutMaxPercent, HoldoutSeed, or HoldoutActualSize are available only in SQL Server 2008 and later versions. Therefore, you must prefix these properties with the new namespace as shown in the syntax description, or Analysis Services will return an error.

The value of a Name element has the following restrictions: The value cannot contain leading or trailing spaces. If leading or trailing spaces are included in the value of a Name element, those spaces will be implicitly removed by Analysis Services. The value should not contain control characters. The presence of control characters in a name is strongly discouraged and can sometimes result in XML validation errors. For objects created using the GetNewName method in SQL Server 2016, AMO checks for and subsequently removes any control characters, leading spaces, or trailing spaces in the name. For this reason, using GetNewName is the recommended approach for setting object names. However, if you set the Name property directly, the same validation checks are not performed, possibly resulting in XML validation errors. Whether an error actually occurs depends on which control character appears in the name. Although control characters should never be used in an object name, Analysis Services does not expressly prevent them. Previous releases of Analysis Services sometimes accepted control characters in an object name. For this reason, SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services (SSAS) will ignore control characters in an object name to avoid breaking older solutions. The following reserved values cannot be used: AUX CLOCK$ COM1 through COM9 (COM1, COM2, COM3, and so on) CON LPT1 through LPT9 (LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, and so on) NUL PRN The following table lists additional characters that cannot be used within the value of a Name element, depending on the parent element. PARENT ELEMENT INVALID CHARACTERS Server The name must follow the rules for Microsoft Windows computer names. IP addresses are not valid.

Syntax <DimensionAttribute> ... <NamingTemplate>...</NamingTemplate> ... </DimensionAttribute> Element Characteristics CHARACTERISTIC DESCRIPTION Data type and length String Default value None Cardinality 0-1: Optional element that can occur once and only once. Element Relationships RELATIONSHIP ELEMENT Parent element DimensionAttribute Child elements None Remarks The value of the NamingTemplate element is used only by parent attributes (in other words, the value of the Usage element of the DimensionAttribute parent element is set to Parent). When a parent attribute is used to construct a hierarchy, the levels of the hierarchy are determined by the parentchild relationships between members contained by the parent attribute. Therefore, unlike other dimensions, the level names cannot be drawn from the attribute names used for the hierarchy. Instead, a naming template is used to generate level names for parent-child hierarchies. The NamingTemplate element, defined in the parent attribute, contains a string expression used to define level names. There are two ways to define a naming template for a parent attribute. You can either design a naming pattern, or you can specify a list of names. A naming pattern contains an asterisk ( * ) as a placeholder character for a counter that is incremented and inserted into the name of each new and deeper level. For example, using Level * results in the level names Level 01 , Level 02 , Level 03 , and so on, if no (All) level is defined. If a naming pattern does not contain the placeholder character, it is first used as is, and then subsequent level names are formed by appending a space and a number to the end of the pattern. For example, using Level results in the level names Level , Level 01 , Level 02 , and so on. To use a specific set of names for the naming, the value of the NamingTemplate element is set to a semicolondelimited list of level names. Each name in the list is used for a subsequent level name. If the number of levels exceeds the number of names in the list, the last name in the list is used as a template for any additional level names, with a space and ordinal number appended to the last name as described earlier. For example, using Division;Group;Unit results in the level names Division , Group , Unit , Unit 01 , Unit 02 , and so on. By contrast, using Division;Group;Unit * results in the level names Division , Group , Unit 03 , Unit 04 , and so on. Each name in the list is treated as a template to ensure uniqueness of level names. For example, using Manager;Team Lead;Manager;Team Lead;Worker * results in the level names Manager , Team Lead , Manager Team Lead 01 , Worker 05 , Worker 06 . 01 , Use two asterisks (*) to include the asterisk (\) character in a level name as part of a naming template.
