Select one of the following options:
  • As a flat structure. The Developer tool does not create package.

Dimensional properties transformation
Specifies how to transfer the dimension name, description, and role to the underlying table and the attribute name, description, and datatype to the underlying column.
Select one of the following options:
  • Disabled. No property transfer occurs.
  • Enabled. Property transfer occurs where there are direct matches between the dimensional objects and the relational objects. The Developer tool migrates the dimension names to the relational names.
  • Enabled (preserve names). Property transfer occurs where there are direct matches between the dimensional objects and the relational objects. The Developer tool preserves the relational names.
