Product Aggregation

Product aggregation refers to the portions of the aggregation process that are responsible for populating the product-centric areas of the data warehouse. This allows for reporting to be performed on a per-product basis, rather than focusing on simple feature usage. In addition to reporting, product aggregation is also necessary to enable the Investment Planning functionality, including remixing.

If you have purchased Investment Planning functionality, product aggregation is automatically performed during every aggregation process. During aggregation, feature events (imported from report logs) are considered chronologically, and contribute to the usage summaries for individuals and organizations, for specific hours. These usage summaries are stored in the measure tables of the data warehouse for reporting. Product aggregation is similar, but includes two addition phases: the creation of product events from feature events, and product resolution.
