It first calls GetDatasetDimensions to obtain the dimensions for the dataset. For each of the dimensions, calls GetDimensionGroups to obtain the hierarchies for this dimension. Finally calls ReadEBXHierarchy to obtain the grouping from the bottom hierarchy (as specified in GetDatasetDimensions) to the top (as specified in GetDimensionGroups). It saves all objects into an RData file with the name of the dataset.
