[CLOSED] Functionality questions
Hi Everyone,

I was asked some questions about specific functionality which I couldn't answer so I am hoping someone here can help me.

Does IBI understands hierarchy and can automatically go against different aggregate tables based on the hierarchy. I think they are talking about both a date (day, hour, minute) and a parent child relationship. I am assuming there is some sort of mapping that needs to happen but I am not sure.


Does IBI has the capability of merging data from two datasets at the same grain, I think this relates to the above. I have been confused if something like this can be achieved via the Merge tool, join tool or would we have to set it up via a master file. In fact the answer maybe all 3 but then question becomes when do we use one versus the other.

Thanks!
Manish
