Understanding BAM Model Total Members

PeopleSoft Business Analysis Modeler (BAM) models o ften contain total members. A dimension in a BAM

model may contain a total member to provide a simple aggregation of the other members of that dimension.

If you want to convert a BAM 8.8 model into an analytic model, you m ust understand how PeopleSoft Analytic

Calculation Engine handles the total members from BAM models, and the relationship between BAM total

members and the hierarchies and dimension members of analytic models.

See C

hapter 6, “Creating Dimensions,” Defining Dimension Properties, page 48.

Understanding Dimension Members

This section discusses:

• Types of dimension members.

• Purpose of node levels in creating hierarchies.

• Creation of new members at runtime.

Types of Dimension Members

PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine contains many different types of dimension members. The type of

member that exists within a dimension is determined by:

• Whether a tree is attached to the dimension.

• The types of leaves or nodes that are mapped to the dimension members.

Note. Two dimension members should neve r share the same name unless one member is a detail member and

one m ember is an aggregate member.
