Full Process cube in SSIS

Question

I have a XMLA script like below to process (full process) the cube

<Object>
    <DatabaseID>Adventure Works DW Standard Edition</DatabaseID>
    <CubeID>Adventure Works DW</CubeID>
  </Object>
  <Type>ProcessFull</Type>
  <WriteBackTableCreation>UseExisting</WriteBackTableCreation>
</Process>

Will this full process the dimension or do I need to write another script for dimensions?

Answer 1

This script will only process your cube, not the dimensions related to it.

A possible solution could be to process the entire database (assuming it only contains one cube). This way all objects in it will be processed.
