Before you run the BDP, you can make the following customizations to the output attributes. These procedures are performed in the BDP Schema Editor:
- Specify meaningful output attribute names by creating synonyms; for example, you could create the synonym Unknown Values for the attribute BP_MISC_DATA. For more information, see Redefining Attributes.
Note: If the word definition table is imported from the Discovery Library or client system,
all related BP_USERx attribute names will be automatically replaced with the format of
category_RECODE, category, and category_DATA_PRESENT,
respectively. For example, if you have a category called "YEAR," the output attribute
names will be YEAR_RECODE, YEAR, and YEAR_DATA_PRESENT.
- Add additional attributes to the output schema. By default, a business data project includes only 50 output attributes (BP_USER1 - BP_USER50) in the output schema. If you define more than 50 categories, you must add additional attributes to the output schema.
- Delete the output attributes that you are not going to use. This will reduce record length and help increase process performance.
Note: If the word definition table is imported from the Library or client system, you will
have the option of removing unused attributes automatically.
