This section provides a quick overview to adding a property mapper to the pipeline, including:
The fundamental requirements for the placement of a property mapper in the pipeline are:
In a basic pipeline, the property mapper uses the record adapter as its record source and the dimension server as its dimension source, and then the indexer adapter takes the property mapper’s output as its record source.
Example 3. Partial Update Pipeline
Pipelines used for partial updates also use a property mapper, as explained in the Partial Updates Guide. The Pipeline Diagram example below shows a partial update pipeline:
In this partial update pipeline, the property mapper (PropDimMapper) uses the record adapter (LoadUpdateData) as its record source and the dimension server as its dimension source. The record manipulator (UpdateManipulator) uses the property mapper as its record source.
The Developer Studio help provides a step-by-step procedure of how to add a property mapper to your pipeline. This section gives an overview of the general steps.
To create a property mapper:
The next sections will give overviews of the functions available in the Mappings editor.
