SubsetCreate function for IBM Planning Analytics (TM1)

Where can the SubsetCreate function be used?

Which TM1 Server version is the SubsetCreate function available for?

What is the syntax for SubsetCreate?

• DimName = Name of the Dimension where we are creating subset.  ​
• SubName = Name of the subset that we want to assign to the subset. 
• [AsTemporary] = This is an optional parameter and mainly it is used to create temporary subset. The argument values are 1 and 0.​
  • 1 =  creates temporary subset;
  • 0 = creates the permanent subset. 

Relevant Functions

• HierarchySubsetAliasGet = Retrieves the alias used for a subset in a hierarchy.
• HierarchySubsetAliasSet = Sets an alias for a subset for a hierarchy. Returns 1 if successful or 0 if not.
• HierarchySubsetAttrDelete = Deletes a subset attribute from a hierarchy in a dimension.
• HierarchySubsetAttrInsert = Adds a new attribute for subsets.
• HierarchySubsetAttrN = Returns a numeric attribute for a subset, tied to a dimension’s hierarchy
• HierarchySubsetAttrNL = Returns a numeric attribute for a subset, tied to a dimension’s hierarchy, given a locale
• HierarchySubsetAttrPutN = Writes a numeric value to a subset’s attribute or set of elements in a hierarchy for a dimension.
• HierarchySubsetAttrPutS = Writes a string value to a subset’s attribute or set of elements in a hierarchy for a dimension.
• HierarchySubsetAttrS = Retrieve data from a string attribute associated to a subset in a hierarchy.
• HierarchySubsetAttrSL = Retrieve data from a string attribute associated to a subset in a hierarchy, based on a language locale.
• HierarchySubsetCreate = Creates an empty public subset in a hierarchy.
• HierarchySubsetDeleteAllElements = Deletes all elements in a subset from a hierarchy. 
• HierarchySubsetDestroy = Destroys a subset from a hierarchy.
• HierarchySubsetElementDelete = Deletes an element from a subset using an index number.
• HierarchySubsetElementExists = Checks if an elements exists in a public subset. 1 is returned if the elements exists or 0 if it does not exist in the subset.
• HierarchySubsetElementGetIndex = Returns the index of an element in a subset for a hierarchy.
• HierarchySubsetElementInsert = Adds an element into a subset associated to a hierarchy.
• HierarchySubsetExists = Checks if a public subset exists for a hierarchy. 1 is returned if the subset exists or 0 if the subset does not exist.
• HierarchySubsetGetElementName = Returns the name of an element from a subset using an index number that’s associated with a hierarchy.
• HierarchySubsetGetSize = Returns the number of elements in a subset that’s associated with a hierarchy.
• HierarchySubsetIsAllSet = Sets a subset to contain all elements of the dimension.
• HierarchySubsetMDXGet = Returns the MDX expression used to for a subset that’s associated with a hierarchy.
• HierarchySubsetMDXSet = Inserts a MDX expression to a public subset.
• PublishSubset = Converts a private subset to public.
• SubsetAliasGet = Retrieves the alias used for a subset.
• SubsetAliasSet = Sets the alias attribute in the Subset.  
• SubsetAttrDelete = Deletes a subset attribute from the dimension.
• SubsetAttrInsert = Creates a string, numeric or alias subset attribute for a dimension. 
• SubsetATTRN = Retrieves a value from a subset’s numeric attribute. 
• SubsetAttrNL = Retrieves a value from a subset’s numeric attribute for a given language. If the attribute is not defined for the language code, then the function returns the base attribute value. 
• SubsetAttrPutN = Updates a numeric attribute from a subset. 
• SubsetAttrPutS = Updates a string attribute from a subset. 
• SubsetAttrS = Retrieves a string attribute from a subset. 
• SubsetAttrSL = Retrieves a string attribute from a subset based on the local language code. If the attribute is not defined for the language code, then the function returns the base attribute value.  
• SubsetCreate = Creates a subset in a dimension.  
• SubsetCreateByMDX = Creates a public subset based on a MDX statement.  
• SubsetDeleteAllElements = Deletes all elements from a public subset. 
• SubsetDestroy = Deletes a subset.
• SubsetElementDelete = Deletes an element from a public subset. 
• SubsetElementExists = Checks if an element exists in the specified public subset. If an element exists in the subset then it returns 1 otherwise it returns 0.  
• SubsetElementGetIndex = Retrieves an element’s index in a subset. If the element doesn’t exist in the subset, then the function returns 0. If the index is not between 1 and the size of the subset then the function return error and process will be aborted. 
• SubsetElementInsert = Adds an element in an existing subset. 
• SubsetExists = Checks if a public subset exists. The function returns a 1 if the subset exists in the dimension, otherwise it returns 0. 
• SubsetExpandAboveSet = Sets expand above to a subset. It returns 1 if successful otherwise it returns 0.  
• SubsetFormatStyleSet = Applies an existing display style to a named subset.
• SubsetGetElementName = Retrieves an element’s name from a subset based on an index. 
• SubsetGetSize = Retrieves an element’s name from a subset based on an index. 
• SubsetIsAllSet = Sets all elements to a public subset
• SubsetMDXGet = Retrieves the MDX statement used for a subset.  
• SubsetMDXSet = Applies a MDX expression to a public subset. If the subset doesn’t exist, then an error will occur.
