    Fields Description
    Debugging Level

    The debugging output level determines the amount of SQL that will be written to the processing log. There are eight levels available:

    1. Trace: Designates finer-grained informational events than the DEBUG.
    2. All: All levels including custom levels.
    3. Error: Designates error events that might still allow the application to continue running.
    4. Information: Designates informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level.
    5. Debug: Designates fine-grained informational events that are most useful to debug an application.
    6. Fatal: Designates very severe error events that will presumably lead the application to abort.
    7. Warning: Designates informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level.
    8. Off: The highest possible rank and is intended to turn off logging.

    Note: A log request of level p in a logger with level q is enabled if p >= q. This rule is at the heart of log4j. It assumes that levels are ordered. For the standard levels, we have ALL < DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR < FATAL < OFF.

    View Logs Level

    This shows the severity of the information telling you how important a given log message is. This shows the View level of the Log. There are three levels available:

    1. Information: Designates informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level.
    2. Debug: Designates fine-grained informational events that are most useful to debug an application.
    3. Off: The highest possible rank and is intended to turn off logging.

    Figure 5-20 Dimensions and Hierarchies


    Dimensions and Hierarchies

    Fields Description

    Default Dimension

    Transfer Pricing requires users to declare one of the “Product” dimensions as the TP Product dimension. The model is seeded with three possible selections:
    • Product
    • Common COA
    • GL Account

    Users can also add any placeholder dimension as product dimensions, which would also appear in the above list. Transfer Pricing business rules are based on the Product dimension selected here. The suggested default is the “Product” dimension

    Default Hierarchy The list of values for the Default Product Hierarchy is based on the Default Product Dimension selection. The hierarchy selected here will be the default hierarchy selection in all business rules that support node-level assumptions. This selection acts as the starting value for convenience only and users can change at their discretion within each business rule.
