The Basic Pipeline template streamlines the setup for a pipeline that contains the following five components:
Property mapper (PropMapper) for mapping source properties to Guided Search properties and dimensions.
Indexer adapter (IndexerAdapter) for writing out data that is ready to be indexed by the Dgidx program.
Dimension adapter (Dimensions) for loading dimension data.
Dimension server (DimensionServer) that functions as a single repository for dimension data that has been input via one or more dimension adapters.
The following illustration shows the pipeline diagram for a basic pipeline:
Oracle recommends that you leave most of the Basic Pipeline component options at their default settings and customize them later, after you have a basic pipeline functioning. Oracle also recommends that you do not include other components to perform additional tasks until after you have a functioning pipeline. The remainder of this section describes how to get a Basic Pipeline working.
Note
This section does not describe all of the features of a basic pipeline’s components in exhaustive detail. It describes the minimum you need to know to create a functioning pipeline. Detailed information about individual components is included in subsequent chapters of this book and in the Oracle Developer Studio Help.
