You can add and list managed attribute values. You can optionally
assign their names, synonyms, or ranks at creation time. You can also update
the display name and the rank of the managed attribute values without stopping
the data domain. You can delete managed attribute values by deleting the PDR
that defines an associated managed attribute.
The following list summarizes operations you
can perform:
- Additions. You can
add a new managed attribute value using different methods:
- Using the Data Ingest
Web Service
addRecords operation. You do this before loading
data records, by creating the appropriate assignments on the new description
record, (MAVDR). For information, see the
Oracle Endeca Server Data Loading Guide.
- Using the Configuration
Web Service operation
putManagedAttributeValues.
- Updates. You can
update managed attribute value records only with changes to ranking and display
name, using the
putManagedAttributeValues operation, or an operation
in the Data Ingest Web Service. You cannot change their hierarchy or other
characteristics, once you add them.
- Deletions. The only
way to delete an individual managed attribute value is to delete the PDR for an
associated managed attribute. When you delete a PDR, Endeca Server deletes the
managed attribute and all its values.
- Additionally, you can add
ranks and synonyms for managed attribute values. See
About ranks and synonyms.
