The /atg/commerce/endeca/index/CategoryPathVariantProducer component is used by the CategoryToDimensionOutputConfig component to produce multiple records per category (one record for each unique path computed by CategoryTreeService). The CategoryPathVariantProducer component is of class atg.commerce.endeca.index.dimension.CategoryPathVariantProducer, which implements the atg.repository.search.indexing.VariantProducer interface. In each record this variant producer creates, the value of the record’s dimval.spec property is the unique pathname that the record represents. For example:

The CategoryPathVariantProducer component is added to the CategoryToDimensionOutputConfig component’s variantProducers property by default:

variantProducers+=\
   CategoryPathVariantProducer

See the CategoryTreeService Class section for more information about how category path variants are computed.
