MDM-RE provides several "out of the box" search clients that may be used as soon as a system has been defined and loaded. Although you are free to create your own customized search clients using the MDM-RE Search API, these clients provide facilities to quickly utilize and/or deploy search functionality without any coding.
Online Search Clients
Online Search Clients dynamically adjust their dialogues based on the Search-Definitions defined in the Rulebase. There are three main categories of online clients:
Deployable search clients are restricted in functionality. They are used to quickly deploy fixed search capabilities to end-users. These clients cannot switch between searches or change search strategies.
Administrator search clients are intended to be used by an MDM-RE Designer / Administrator. They are functionally rich and provide access to all searches and search/match strategies defined in a system. They also contain tracing and debugging facilities to help tune searches.
Web: Any web browser that is pointed to the MDM-RE HTTP Server can act as a search client.
Batch Search Clients
MDM-RE provides two "out of the box" batch search clients:
Relate runs a number of searches using search records selected from an input file or database table. Results are written to an output file.
DupFinder
identifies duplicate records in the IDT and writes results to an output file.
