To use an output dimension adapter to save data, you specify Output as the direction of data flow, along with the location the data should be saved to and the file format for the saved data.
Output dimension adapters are generally used as diagnostic tools.
To add an output dimension adapter:
The Dimension Adapter editor appears.
In the Name text box, enter a unique name for the dimension adapter.
In the General tab, do the following:
In the URL text box, enter the location to which the dimension data will be saved.
(Optional) To save on the amount of disk space used, check Custom Compression Level and slide the bar to Endeca's recommended value of 7.
Note
Compressed data consumes less disk space but takes longer to read and write.
(Optionally) In the Comment tab, add a comment for the component.
