Create the IIR System Definition

Create the System Definition File (SDF) using either

the GUI SDF Wizard, which is a quick and intuitive method for building simple SDFs, or

the GUI System Editor, which is a full-featured, but low-level editor. You may start by cloning an existing system (a sample System is loaded during the Installation process), or

a simple text editor, like Wordpad or vi.

The SDF describes the fields used for searching, matching and display and where that data is acquired from. It also nominates the SSA-NAME3 Population to be used for the search and matching rules.

For example, the SDF

User-Source-Table

section for the Name search requirements in the Customer Search example might look like this,


Section: User-Source-Tables
create_idt
					name_idt
sourced_from
					user.CUSTOMER.CUSTID,
					user.CUSTOMER.TYPE,
					user.CUSTOMER.BIRTHDATE,
					user.NAME.NAME 										$surname,
					user.NAME.GIVENNMES 					$given_names,
					user.NAME.STATUS,
					user.ADDRESS.BUILDING $building,
					user.ADDRESS.STREET$street,
					user.ADDRESS.SUBURB,
					user.ADDRESS.STATE,
					user.ADDRESS.POSTALCODE
transform
					concat ($given_names, $surname) NAME C(100) order 1
     concat ($building, $street) ADDRESS C(100) order 2
join_by
               user.CUSTOMER.CUSTID = user.NAME.CUSTID,
               user.CUSTOMER.CUSTID = user.ADDRESS.CUSTID
