Interface CqnDescendantsTransformation

CqnHierarchySubsetTransformation, CqnTransformation

@Beta public interface CqnDescendantsTransformation extends CqnHierarchySubsetTransformation
Transformation that determines descendants of instances that belong to a recursive hierarchy. The hierarchy is defined by the hierarchy reference and the hierarchy qualifier. The transformation takes an input set consisting of instances that belong to the hierarchy. It firstly determines a subset A of the input set by applying transformations - typically filter or search - to the input set. Then it determines the set of descendants of A that were already contained in the input set. Its output set is the descendants set, optionally including A.
