This class has a number of functions that have all evolved around sending XML/A Discover and Execute commands to the server.
- Discover - allows for the display of metadata using Discover XML/A commands
- DiscoverXmlMetadata - extracts a tabular dataset from the request
- ClearCache - clears the cache, useful for performance testing
- Cancel - cancels sessions, connections and SPIDs
- DMV - allows for the execution of DMV select statements similar to what can be executed against SSAS 2008
- DiscoverSingleValue - returns the value from one column of Discover, DiscoverXmlMetadata, or DMV functions
-
ForEach - the ForEachMeasureGroup and ForEachPartition functions loop across each object, run a command, then union the resultsets together
- Discover Reports - SSRS Reports using the above functions
