Use the Configuration Console to configure source characteristics
for large attribute data.
About this task
The Configuration Console allows you to configure new types
of attribute data for customized scoring plugins in the same way you
configure data for base plugins.
Procedure
- From the Plugins tab of the Configuration Console, click
the selection box for the customized plugin.
- Click the Characteristics tab.
- Click the General tab and fill in the fields as appropriate.
- Select the appropriate Data Type. Data Type
can be one of: CHAR, DATE or CLOB. Note the requirements for Data
Type found in Large attribute data storage parameters.
- Select an appropriate Class.
- Select the a value for Resolution Usage.
- Select the name of the Scoring Plugin you are configuring.
- Select an appropriate value in the Display Level field. Choose "Type only without value" to prevent the Visualizer from
displaying the contents of the ATTRIBUTE.ATTR_VALUE or ATTRIBUTE.ATTR_LARGE_DATA
columns. The ATTR_VALUE column is not typically used when the large
object column (CLOB) is used. Additionally, the ATTR_LARGE_DATA (CLOB)
column would normally contain Base-64-encoded data that would not
be relevant or useful to display in the Visualizer.
- Click Save.
Results
The Characteristics tab under Sources displays the new Type
and related information.
