HPE ITOC universe

The HPE ITOC Universe defines classes that contain typical HPE ITOC objects related to compliance and inventory. When you run either a standard or a custom compliance report, you will use these objects. The resulting reports provide information about the compliance levels of your HPE ITOC devices.

Universe elements

Universes contain three basic elements: objects, classes, and query filters.

Object

An object represents a specific set of data in your HPE ITOC database. Each object is given a term that has specific meaning in HPE ITOC. The types of objects are as follows:

  • Dimension - A dimension object () retrieves the data that provides the basis for analysis in a report. Dimension objects typically retrieve character type data. For example, on an HPE ITOC machine, the business service contains dimensions such as Business Service Name, Business Service ID, and Business Service Priority.
    • An associated dimension object () is related to the dimension above it.
  • Measure - A measure object () performs a numerical evaluation on the data in the database report. An example of a measure object is Number of Policies.
  • Class - A class is a logical grouping of related objects. Web Intelligence represents a class with a folder () icon. Each class can contain one or more subclasses. Subclasses contain objects that are further categorized into subcategories.

    When you create queries on a universe, classes help you to find the objects that represent the information that you want to find.

  • Query Filter - A query filter object allows you to restrict the data returned by an object in a query. Query filters are represented by a yellow funnel () icon. Two examples of query filters are Till Date and As Of Date. These query filters enable you to select the time frame for the report.
    Note: Date filters carry a timestamp of 00:00:00. A report with a date filter of "Today" will not include items that were inserted in the database after midnight. To capture items inserted in the database after midnight, set the date filter to tomorrow's date.
