Aggregation scheme

An aggregation scheme aggregates users by using the definitions within aggregation rules or aggregation lists.

Aggregation schemes are required for use in almost all reports and rule set executions. Otherwise, no consolidated license type can be determined, and no license type can be recommended. Within an aggregation scheme, multiple aggregation rules and lists are executed in the order of listing. As soon as an aggregation rule or list results in the aggregation of a user, all subsequent rules and lists are not executed. By using the swap function, rules consuming a lot of calculating time can be executed after all less consuming rules and lists. Examples for rules which should be listed last are aggregation rules using regular expressions or implementation of a particular class.
