Creating Hierarchies Chapter 9

• Adds each orphan member’s v alue to the hierarchy root value’s member.

• Genera tes a message with the ID of 123 and stores it in the Messages property for the analytic instance.

You must write PeopleCode to iterate over the messages in the analytic instance and search for message

123, a nd then take any necessary further action.

Blank Members

A blank member is a member that has no value. Blank members are created out of either an empty detail in a

tree or a null cell in the main record. To create blank members:

• When the analy

tic model learns of a new empty detail in the tree, it adds the blank member to the appropriate

parent member

• When the analy

tic model learns of a null cell in the main record, it adds the blank member as a child

of the hierarc

hy root.

• When the AddMe

mber method adds a member with a blank member name ( “ ”), a blank member is added as

a child of the

hierarchy root.

Note. When blank members are mapped to date fields, they are w ritten to the database as values of 1/1/1900.

Purpose of Node Levels in Creating Hierarchies

Use node leve

ls to create leaf, detail, and aggregate members out of tree nodes and leaves. Use the parameters

of the Attach

Tree method to set the node levels.

Details Start Level

The details start level determines the type of dimension members that PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine

creates out of the nodes and leaves of a tree. Use either the parameters of the AttachTree method or the

Analytic Instance Load/Unload page to set the details start level. The details start level is a required parameter.

The default value is 0. The root level is 1.

Servers,” L

oading and Unloading Analytic Instances.

Note. If you specify a n onzero details start level, you must specify the strictly enforced method to the tree

in PeopleSoft Tree Manager. The strictly enforced method ensures that all members that are created out

of one level are created as the same member type.

See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Tree Manager, “Creating Trees,” Defining Basic

Attributes.
