Indexer adapters save data that is ready to be indexed by the Dgidx program.
The final component in your pipeline is generally an indexer adapter. These components take all record, dimension hierarchy, and index configuration information from the pipeline and combine it in a format that is ready for the indexer (Agidx or Dgidx). An indexer adapter will generally be the final component in a baseline update pipeline. Attributes of the indexer adapter control where and how it writes its output, as well as where and how it reads its index configuration input.
To add an indexer adapter:
The Indexer Adapter editor appears.
In the Name text box, type a unique name for the indexer adapter.
In the General tab, do the following:
In the URL text box, type the location to which the indexed records are written, relative to the Pipeline.epx file.
In the Output Prefix text box, type the prefix that will be attached to the output files.
(Optional) Check Filter Unknown Properties if you want the indexer adapter to remove source properties from your records.
Note
After mapping, source properties still exist as part of the Endeca record. Enabling this option removes those source properties so records consist exclusively of Endeca properties and dimension values.
(Optional) Check Custom Compression and slide the bar to the appropriate level.
(Optional) In the Sources tab, choose a record source and one or more dimension sources.
(Optional) In the Comment tab, add a comment for the component.
Note
Typically, there is only one indexer adapter per pipeline.
The Indexer Adapter editor contains a unique name for this indexer adapter.
The Indexer Adapter editor contains the following tabs:
The General tab contains the following options:
|
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
|
URL |
Required. Location to which the indexed records are written. |
|
Output prefix |
Prefix that will be attached to the output files. For example, if the prefix is wine, the dimensions file will be called wine.Dimension.xml. |
|
Output formats |
Read-only information about output formats for the record file and the dimension file. |
|
Filter unknown properties |
Optional. Check Filter unknown properties if you want the indexer adapter to remove source properties from your records.
NoteAfter mapping, source properties still exist as part of the Endeca record. Enabling this option removes those source properties so records consist exclusively of Endeca properties and dimension values.

Custom compression level |
Optional. Sets the level of compression to be performed on the data. The values can range from 0 to 10, with higher numbers indicating higher compression (smaller size, slower processing). |
The Sources tab contains the following fields:
