The Update Adapter editor contains a unique name for this update adapter.
The Update Adapter editor contains the following tabs:
The General tab contains the following options:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Output URL |
Required. Identifies the directory to which Forge writes its files and processed records. The path is either an absolute path or a path relative to the location of the Pipeline.epx file. With an absolute path, the protocol must be specified in RFC 2396 syntax. Usually this means the prefix file:/// precedes the path to the data file. Relative URLs must not specify the protocol and are relative to the URL used to locate the Pipeline.epx file. |
Output prefix |
Specifies the filename prefix to add when Forge writes its output files. |
Multi |
Optional. The Multi and Multi property fields specify which file each record is written to. If Multi is checked, Forge checks the Multi property field for the location. |
Multi property |
Optional . Specifies a property name that indicates the location that a record coming through Forge should be written to. (Forge stores a property on each record that is the source URL for that record.) Setting this property is useful if you want to process multiple input files and also keep the output distinct. |
Filter unknown properties |
Optional. If you enabled Filter unknown properties in your full update pipeline's indexer adapter , enable Filter unknown properties in the update adapter. |
Custom Compression level |
Optional. Sets the level of compression to be performed on the data. The values can range from 0 to 10, with higher numbers indicating higher compression (smaller size, slower processing). |
The Sources tab contains the following options:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Record source |
Required. A choice of the record servers in the project. |
Dimension source |
A choice of the dimension adapters and dimension servers in the project. |
The Agraph tab contains the following options:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Enable Agraph Support |
When checked, enables the Agraph program for use in a partial update pipeline. |
Number of Agraph partitions |
Specifies the number of child Dgraphs that the Agraph controls. In an Agraph implementation, this must be a value of 2 or more. |
Partition property |
The partition property is a read only field that identifies the property by which records are assigned to each partition. If you are using rollup capabilities, the rollup property displays as the partition property. If you do not have a roll up property, but do have a record spec property enabled in your project, the record spec property functions as the partition property. If neither a rollup nor a record spec property exists, the partition property is empty, and Forge assigns records to each partition according to a round-robin strategy. |

Optional. Provides a way to associate comments with a pipeline component.
