Remarks

Business Analyst Server uses demographic data from layers of a data hierarchy to calculate summarization variables for a custom boundary layer. The calculated data are then shown in reports or appended as attribute fields to output boundary layers. A data hierarchy is usually specified with the DataHierarchy parameter of a Business Analyst task. If this parameter is omitted, the default "Standard Business Analyst Data" hierarchy is used in demographic calculations.
