Hi everyone,
I'm confused about some concepts related to data hubs:
-Why do we build both flat lists and system modules in the data hub? Is Anaplan not able to import from lists?
-Why did we create a hierarchical list in the data hub when we were told it's best practice not to?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello @SChua
I'm happy to answer your first 2 questions. They are actually good questions and deserve an explanation.
Regarding your third question, It is against the rule to post exam questions or solicit direct answers to exam questions.
I recommend you delete that part of your post and I'll answer the other 2 points on the modified post
Hi @einas.ibrahim ,
Thanks for the reply; I deleted the image but would still like to know the logic behind it - why would it cause an error to load product details in before the product flat list?
Hello @SChua
Let's address your questions one at a time:
System modules are a way to store the list hierarchical information in a flat manner.
Consider the System Module below Sys06 Country Details in the Data Hub
It helps us recognize the parent -Region - for every country in a flat manner. We can use this module (saved view) to create the Hierarchical List Country in the the spoke model.
2. Why did we create a hierarchical list in the data hub when we were told it's best practice not to?
I believe the training asked us to build these "try it" hierarchies just to test building a hierarchical list from a system module. You are supposed to delete them or ignore them.
3. Why the loading order matter?
@SChua
I'm glad you found it helpful. If you have other questions in the future mention my name in your post @einas.ibrahim and I should get notified to look at your question.
Good Luck
