Val ue > 0 PeopleSoft Analytic
Calculation Engine creates
leaf members out of any
detail values that are at t he
far right of the t ree.
PeopleSoft Analytic
Calculation Engine creates
detail members out of any
detail values or nodes that
are located either within
the specified details start
level, or w ithin a level that is
lower (higher number) than
the details start level.
If you specify the root
level as the details start
level, PeopleSoft Analytic
Calculation Engine creates
detail me mb ers out of all
nodes in the tree.
Note. PeopleSoft Analytic
Calculation Engine cannot
create detail members out
of detail values that are at a
higher level than the details
start level.
Note. Do not specify a
details start level that is
equal to lower than the tree
discard level.
PeopleSoft Analytic
Calculation Engine creates
aggregate members out of
any aggregate no des that are
located within a l evel that is
higher than the de tails start
level.
Note. PeopleSoft Analytic
Calculation Engine cannot
create aggregate members
out of nodes that are at a
lower level than the details
start level.
Val ue = 0
Note. When the value = 0,
the details start level is not
specified.
PeopleSoft Analytic
Calculation Engine creates
leaf members out of the
detail values that are located
at the far right of the tree.
PeopleSoft Analytic
Calculation Engine creates
detail me mb ers out of all
leaf members.
PeopleSoft Analytic
Calculation Engine creates
aggregate members out of
any nodes from w hich it has
not created leaf members.
Tree Disca rd Level
The tree discard level determines the level from which PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine does not attach
any more of the tree to the dimension. Use either the parameters of the AttachTree method or the Analytic
Instance Load/Unload page to set the tree discard level.
See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: System and Server Administration, “Managing Analytic
Servers,” Loading and Unloading Analytic Instances.
PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine does not create members out of nodes or leaves that are either at this
level or lower than this level. You must specify a details start level to every tree for w hic h you want to specify
a tree discard level. The default value is 0. If t he tree discard level is anything other than Level 0, then the
tree discard level must be at a lower level than the details start level.
The analytic calculation engine ignores the tree discard level if:
• The details start level is 0.
• The tree discard level is either equal to or higher than the details start level.
