Creating and Defining a TreeSet Definition: the Big Picture

To create and define a TreeSet Definition:

1. Define the root TreeSet Collection, i.e. the TreeSet entry points.

The TreeSet entry point can be:

• an object,

• an object collection,

• a query

See Creating a TreeSet Definition.

2. Define the TreeSet Collections that constitute the TreeSet.

See Adding a TreeSet Collection to a TreeSet Definition.

3. (optional) Add a loop to a TreeSet Collection.

See Defining a TreeSet Collection.

4. (Optional) Add TreeSet Properties to a TreeSet Collection.

See Adding TreeSet Properties to a TreeSet Collection.

5. Preview the TreeSet.

See Previewing the TreeSet.

6. From the TreeSet, generate Instant Reports of type:

• Breakdown

• Dendrogram

• TreeMap

• TreeTable

See Generating Instant Reports from a TreeSet.

7. Customize the Instant Report and perfom:

• a Save as Report to create a tree report and get its Report Template.

See Creating a tree-type Report Template.

• a Save as View to create a Report Tree View.

See Creating a Report Tree View.

8. Customize the tree report.

TreeSet Definition Best Practices

When you create a TreeSet Definition you should follow the best practices.

Define a TreeSet Definition to create focused TreeSets, i.e.:

• The TreeSet should answer a single issue.

For examples: a report, an export of specific data.

• Do not build TreeSets with huge amount of data that you would use for different purposes.

A TreeSet size is limited to:

• 50.000 nodes

• 50 properties

These limits are defined in the following options (Options > Tools > Documentation > Reports):

Fix the limit for TreeSet Nodes

Fix the limit for TreeSet properties

A "TreeSet volume alert" warning is generated when a TreeSet exceeds these recommended limits.

Supervising TreeSet Events

In the HOPEX Supervision console, you can check the TreeSet-specific events (e.g.: "TreeSet Generate" informative event):

• Node Count indicates the number of nodes of the TreeSet.

• Internal Node Count Limit indicates the recommended maximum number of nodes in the TreeSet.

• Property Count indicates the number of nodes of the TreeSet.

• Internal Node Count Limit indicates the recommended maximum number of nodes in the TreeSet.

For detailed information regarding TreeSet related supervision events, see HOPEX Administration > Technical Articles > Supervision Event Description > ReportDataSet, TreeSet, and GraphSet.
