Adobe Analytics Connector Limiting Dimensions
You'll want to use the Top parameter with your dimensions. You can get up to 50,000 dimension values per call.
{Cube.ApplyParameter, "Top", {10000, "evar123"}}, {Cube.ApplyParameter, "Top", {1000, "evar234"}},If you open the log for the Report Builder, you should see which elements are using "top" in the json of the reportDefinition:
... , "elements": [ { "id": "evar123", "top": 10000, "startingWith": 1 } ], ...

jeffshieldsdev Thank you for this fantastic tip. It really helps. I was looking to import the page dimension and by default I was getting 10 values back by date..but now I can expand this to higher limits.
Could you please share any relevant documentation where you got this information. I would like to understand better about 50,000 dimension values. Also, where were you able to find that by default it gives top 10 values. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
It's a bit buried.
The connector uses Adobe's Analytics 1.4 API. The Reporting API has a Report.Queue method it uses, and POSTs this reportDescription in the body. The reportDescriptionElement in the reportDescription has the "top" parameter.
In a few reports, I've used the API and Postman to download historical data (2017,2018,2019) to .JSON files I store in OneDrive, and then only use the connector in the report to get "live" data (2020 forward). I merge these together into one table in the Query Editor.
