Create the MDM-RE 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
