When the data warehouse loader server invokes a dimension converter, it passes it a context object. The context object is a map of parameters that the converter can use as it modifies the information that will be loaded in the data warehouse.

All dimension loader components implement a convert method. This method takes the context object as its only argument.

Each parameter in a context object has a conversion context name. These names are defined in the DimensionProperties.xml file. You can use atg.beans.DynamicBeans.getPropertyValue to get the value of a parameter in the context object. See Example Dimension Converter.
