Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: " Temporary files can be found under the <TempDir> folder as specified in the msmdsrv.ini configuration file."

A block of code is set as follows:

<ErrorConfiguration
    <KeyErrorLimit>-1</KeyErrorLimit>
    <KeyErrorLogFile>C:\key_errors.txt</KeyErrorLogFile>
    <KeyNotFound>ReportAndStop</KeyNotFound>
    <KeyDuplicate>ReportAndContinue</KeyDuplicate><NullKeyConvertedToUnknown>ReportAndContinue</NullKeyConvertedToUnknown>
    <NullKeyNotAllowed>ReportAndStop</NullKeyNotAllowed>
  </ErrorConfiguration>

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: " Now if you query the cube as a role member and choose All Products as the product category, you will see a different number than what you would see as the total of Bikes and Accessories."
