Remarks

Attributes in the CubeDimension element that are not explicitly included in the Attributes collection become part of the collection and have default values assigned to them. After being added to the collection, these attributes will be returned by the Discover method.

The AggregationUsage element controls how Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services automatically designs aggregations for the attribute. The AggregationUsage element does not constrain any aggregations that are manually created for the cube.

The corresponding element in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model is CubeAttribute.
