Active Topology Queries - Best Practices

  • Use base active topology alternatives when using Query Based active topology mode. If you are using child alternatives, all records will be local after applying queries, so there is no advantage to using child alternatives for record inheritance purposes. However, you may still prefer to create child alternatives purely for organizational purposes.
  • We recommend turning On the Automatically include connected elements option. For extremely large systems, the automatic handling of connected elements can be time-consuming, so this recommendation may not suit everyone.
