Registering a Target Application for the Class of Dimension or Dimension Type
In the Application option, you add a new target application for the class of dimension or dimension type. This application is used as the target application for loading metadata. When you add a dimension, Data Integration creates six-dimensions applications automatically: Account, Entity, Custom, Scenario, Version, and Smartlist.
To register an application for a class of dimensions or dimension type:
-
From the Data Integration home page, and then Actions, select Applications.
-
On the Applications page, click
(Add icon).
-
On the Create Application page, and then Category, select Dimensions.
-
From Application, select the target application.
-
To specify a prefix name to use with each target application, in Prefix, specify a unique name.
-
Click OK.
Data Integration creates the dimension application name using this format: "Application Name -" + Dimension Type.
You can add dimensions multiple times. Data Integration checks if a dimension application exists. If a dimension exists, it is skipped, and if not, it is created. This enables you to delete applications as needed and recreate it.
