Adding a property mapper

At a minimum, a property mapper requires both a record source and a dimension source to define the components that will supply it with record and dimension data.

1. In the Pipeline Diagram editor, click New.
2. Choose Property Mapper. The Property Mapper editor appears.
3. In the Name text box, type a unique name for this property mapper.
4. In the Sources tab, set the record source and dimension source.
5. Click Mappings to open the Mappings editor, where you can view and modify existing mappings. For detailed procedures, see the following topics:
   • Creating a dimension mapping
   • Creating a property mapping
   • Creating a null mapping
6. (Optional) In the Record Index tab, do the following:
   • Specify which properties or dimensions you want to use as the record index for this component.
   • Check whether you want to remove records with duplicate keys.
     Note: Developer Studio performs a case-insensitive search for duplicate keys.
7. (Optional) In the Advanced tab, set any advanced mapping options.
8. (Optional) In the Comment tab, add a comment for the component.
9. Click OK.
