Loading Link and Unlink Rules

Use one of the following methods to load the link and unlink rules:

Console client

User-defined jobs

APIs

You must specify the name of the identity table or persistent ID to which you want to associate the rules.

Forced Link and Unlink

Console Client

Use the console client to load the link and unlink rules.

On the MDM Registry Edition Console Client, click

Tools

Load Link/Unlink Rules

Enter the following information:

IDT: Identity table in which the persistent ID definition exists.
Persistent-ID: Persistent ID to which you want to associate the specified link and unlink rules.
Delimiter: ASCII decimal value of the delimiter that you use in the input file. The default delimiter is comma (,) that has an ASCII value of 44.
Rules File: Path of a file that contains the link and unlink rules or the exported data on which you have already applied the link and unlink rules.; The path of the file can be an absolute path or relative to the current value of the SSAWORKDIR environment variable.
Restore from previous export: Specifies whether the file that you specify contains the link and unlink rules or the exported data on which you have already applied the link and unlink rules.; If you do not select
Restore from previous export
, the file path that you specify points to a file that has the link and unlink rules.; If you select
Restore from previous export
, the file path that you specify points to a file that has the exported data on which you have already applied the link and unlink rules.

User Defined Jobs

Use a batch process to load the link and unlink rules. Create a use-defined job with a step to load the link and unlink rules, and use idsbatch to run the job.

For more information about user-defined jobs, see the User-Job-Definition and User-Step-Definition sections in the

MDM Registry Edition Design Guide

. For more information about the
idsbatch
utility, see the Batch Utilities
/idsbatch
section in this guide.

Define a user-defined job

user-job-load-MR

The following excerpt is a sample user-define-job definition:


user-job-definition
*==================
NAME=				              user-job-load-MR
*
user-step-definition
*===================
JOB=                     user-job-load-MR
NUMBER=                  0
NAME=                    "Load Link/Unlink Rules"
TYPE=                    "Load Link/Unlink Rules"
PARAMETERS=              (IDT,IDT387),
                         (Persistent-ID,search-name-multi),
					                      (Delimiter,44),
                           ("Rules File","+/data/testx387.txt")

Create the idsbatch instructions file to run the user-defined job.

The following excerpt is a sample idsbatch instructions file:


# Load Link/Unlink rules
# ----------------------
action=job-run
job-name=user-job-load-MR
system-name=testx387
rulebase-name=#SSA_RBNAME#
work-directory=#SSAWORKDIR#

Run the following command to run the user-defined job:

On Windows:

%SSABIN%\idsbatch -h%SSA_CSHOST% -i%SSAWORKDIR%\mr_load.txt -1%SSAWORKDIR%\ mr_load.log -2%SSAWORKDIR%\mr_load.err

On UNIX:

$SSABIN/idsbatch -h$SSA_CSHOST -i$SSAWORKDIR/mr_load.txt -1$SSAWORKDIR/mr_load.log -2$SSAWORKDIR/mr_load.err
