Thanks for your input of categorization class usage Peter!! Basically I got need 10 classes each with apprx 8-10 custom attribute minimum.
The design question is, a) if I should have 1 regular class(at tier 1 level) with all these attributes and then derive 10 categorization classes out of it with super class as BMC_BaseElement OR b) create 10 regular class( all at tier 1 level) each with its own custom attributes under the BMC_BaseElement (taking BMC_BaseElement as example here). Also I am looking for performance impact on Normalization /Reconciliation when processing via the above two option a) Categorization class (normalization/reconciliation can happen via categorization classes?) and b) Regular class If you are aware of any document which points to such details would also be helpful. -Sathish _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
