WaveComponent

Represents the WaveComponent object in the Analytics application. This type extends the MetadataWithContent metadata type and inherits its content and fullName fields.

Where possible, we changed noninclusive terms to align with our company value of Equality. We maintained certain terms to avoid any effect on customer implementations.

Important

When using Metadata API to work with Analytics components, consider that:

Modifications to the .wcomp component are unsupported.

File Suffix and Directory Location

WaveComponent components have the suffix .wcomp and are stored in the wave folder.

Version

WaveComponent components are available in API version 51.0 and later.
