hierarchy

hierarchyType

By default, Framework Manager assigns hidden as the type for this property. If you wish to provide control over the value of the property, assign string as the type.

The hierarchyType property describes the internal structure of a hierarchy. The values are listed and described in the following table.

Table 1. hierarchyType property values
Value Usage
default For query subjects representing a characteristic and not a presentation hierarchy.
characteristic For query subjects representing a presentation hierarchy in which each non-leaf level is populated with characteristic values from other characteristics
text For query subjects representing a presentation hierarchy in which each non-leaf level is populated with text values
recursive For query subjects representing a presentation hierarchy in which all levels are populated with values from a single characteristic.
time For all query subjects based on any of the date/time SAP BW characteristics, for example, 0CALDAY, 0CALMONTH

Framework Manager and IBM® Cognos® software do not support presentation hierarchies that use two or more formats for hierarchy construction. For example, where the first three levels are recursive, followed by two levels of characteristic-based values.
