Registering an Application for a Class of Dimensions or Dimension Type

You can register applications of the type that include only a class of dimensions or a dimension type. These types of applications are used to load metadata and include the following applications, which the system creates automatically:

  • Account

  • Entity

  • Custom

  • Scenario

  • Version

  • Smartlist

For information on using an application for a class of dimensions or dimension type for a metadata load, see Integrating Metadata.

Note:

Only "Generic" type dimensions are allowed for metadata/dimensions in the target applications. However, you can map fields on the source extract to Attribute columns on the Map Dimensions page. This means you can't apply mappings on the Attribute columns as might with a LOOKUP dimension, but this method is helpful when attributes don't need further mapping and are only used to derive mappings for other fields.

Note:

If you need to import more than one custom dimension, then create an integration for each dimension and set the dimension name to the required dimension in the Integration Options (seeDefining File-Based Options) and not in the Application options.

To register an application for a class of dimensions or dimension type:

  1. From the Data Integration home page, and then Actions, select Applications.

  2. On the Applications page, click Image shows the Add button. (Add icon).

  3. On the Create Application page, and then Category, select Dimensions.

    Image shows the Applications Page.

  4. From Application, select the application for the primary service application.

  5. Optional: In Prefix, specify a prefix to make the application name unique.

    The prefix is concatenated with the application name to form a unique application name. For example, if you want to name an application with the same name as an existing one, you can assign your initials as the prefix.

  6. Click OK.

    In the following example the applications have been created automatically for the KS_Vision application: KS_Vision - Account, KS_Vision - Custom, KS_Vision - Entity, KS_Vision - Scenario, KS_Vision - Smartlist, and KS_Vision - Version.
