ApexCat

The ApexCat verb makes the selected category the highest category in a view. In PowerCubes that are created using this view, users will see only the apex category and its descendants.

To invoke the equivalent command on the user interface, open the left pane of the category viewer for the selected view and category and, from the Diagram menu, click Apex.

You cannot apply this verb to special categories.

Note: Category object names differ between MDL and the user interface. MDL uses the category code as the object name. For more information, see Locating objects uniquely.

The syntax is as follows:

ApexCat objView [Dimension objDim] {Category objCat|
Category objRootCat |Category objDrillCat}

Argument	Description
ApexCat objView	Specifies the dimension view or custom security view objView in which the category is to be apexed. objView can be the object name, object identifier, or both.
Dimension objDim	Specifies the view. objDim can be the object name, object identifier, or both.
Category objCat	Specifies a regular category as the apex. objCat can be the object name, object identifier, or both. One of the regular, root, or drill categories must be specified.
Category objRootCat	Specifies the root category as the apex, which has the effect of removing the apex. objRootCat can be the object name, object identifier, or both. One of the regular, root, or drill categories must be specified.
