property Hierarchy.virtual: bool | None
Whether the hierarchy is virtual or not. A virtual hierarchy does not store in memory the list of its members. Hierarchies with large cardinality are good candidates for being virtual. By default, a given hierarchy is automatically set as virtual if and only if it comes from an ExternalTable and one of the following conditions is met:
  • The hierarchy has a cardinality of 10000 or more;
  • The activeviam.experimental.forceVirtualHierarchies property is set to true.
As its name suggests, activeviam.experimental.forceVirtualHierarchies is an experimental/temporary property which may change in future bugfix releases.
  • Without activeviam.experimental.forceVirtualHierarchies:
