Creating Persistent ID in the Batch Mode

To create persistent ID and perform initial clustering in batch mode, use the idsbatch utility to run the user-defined jobs.

Ensure that the multi-search definition is included in the system definition file.

Create the user-job definition in the system definition file.

Create the user-step definition with the following parameters:

Search. The name of the multi-search definition.

Use consistent order. Specifies whether data that is loaded is consistent with the order of data in the source system. Set to

true

false

Create PID report only. Specifies whether to create persistent ID report and load data. Enter

true

to create the persistent ID report. Enter

false

to load the data along with persistent ID report.

Create a batch input file with the multi-search definition parameters to create the persistent IDs.

Run the following command to create persistent IDs:

In Windows: %SSABIN%\idsbatch -h%SSA_CSHOST% -i%SSAWORKDIR%\<batch input file name> -1%SSAWORKDIR%\<log file name> -2%SSAWORKDIR%\<error log file name>
In UNIX: $SSABIN/idsbatch -h$SSA_CSHOST -i$SSAWORKDIR\<batch input file name> -1$SSAWORKDIR/<log file name> -2$SSAWORKDIR/<error log file name>
