      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi dokushinno,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; Chargeback reports are tied to a entity or set of entities (which in turn tied to an hierarchy). Hence generating a report without hierarchy &amp;amp; entity id is not possible. If your intent is get a report for all the hierarchies (and its entities), you can write a program to iterate through all the chargeback hierarchies and generate report for those hierarchies.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Diwakar&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks Diwakar.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would be doing something like this then... :smileyconfused:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;HierarchyManagerImpl hm = HierarchyManagerImpl.getInstance();&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;List hierarchiesList = hm.getAllHierarchies(cbClient);&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;//loop hierarchiesList&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; // HierarchyEntitiesType entityType = hierarchiesList [n].getEntities()&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; // entityType.getEntities()&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How do I determine if this "entity" is a "vCenter Server entity" and not "vCenter Chargeback Manager entity"?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Im quite confused on the following classes and please confirm if getting the steps for getting the attribute value is correct:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;HierarchyType&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;HierarchyEntitiesType&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;this has a getEntity() which returns a list of:&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;HierarchyEntityType&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;this has a getAttributes() which returns&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;EntityAttributesType&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;this has has a getAttribute() which returns&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;EntityAttributeType&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;EM&gt;does invoking getValue() return &lt;STRONG&gt;101&lt;/STRONG&gt; for Chargeback Manager entity or &lt;STRONG&gt;0&lt;/STRONG&gt; for vCenter Server entity?&lt;/EM&gt; (based on cbm_users_guide_2_0_0.pdf, Table 4-1. p57)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks heaps for any help. :smileyconfused:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
