Remarks

Some XML for Analysis (XMLA) commands are not expected to return a result, or could not return a result because of an error. XMLA commands that do not return a result return the EmptyResult data type, a namespace on the root element.

Example

The following example represents a root element returned for an empty result.

<return>
   <root xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:empty"/>
</return>
