Developer Studio is a Windows application that you use to define all aspects of your instance configuration including pipeline components such as Endeca properties and dimensions, precedence rules, dynamic business rules, and user profiles.
With Developer Studio, you can define:
Pipeline components for tasks such as loading, standardizing, joining, mapping, and exporting data.
Endeca properties and property attributes such as sort and rollup.
Dimensions and dimension values, including dimension hierarchy.
Precedence rules among dimensions that provide better control over your implementation's navigation flow.
Search configurations, including which properties and dimensions are available for search.
Developer Studio uses a project file, with an
.esp
extension, that contains pointers to the XML files
that support an instance configuration.
