Distinguish between default and other hierarchies

[MarenC]

Hi,

Does anyone know if we can distinguish between the default hierarchy and other hierarchies using TM1 objects? In order to find all the other hierarchies in a model, for every dimension.

The only place I can see where this is possible is in the }dimensions dimension, the other hierarchies seem to use the colon as a separator to identify the hierarchy,

For example, a Country dimension will have Country as the default hierarchy and Country:Leaves as the leaf hierarchy, Country:West as the West countries etc etc.

But, an existing default dimension may already contain a colon, so finding the colon is not really an ideal option, unless you are strict with naming conventions. Ideally all of these other hierarchies would be in a dimension of their own.

So, is there another way to identify all of the other hierarchies in a tm1 model?

Hello,

Is it possible to create a new dimension with a colon ? Not sure and not on my laptop to check.

No, it isn't!

It’s Monday for a reason

I was lulled in by the fact that they are using a colon in these dimension names, so I just assumed that the character was allowed.

That is my excuse, but maybe Monday is a better one!
