Rulebase

Rulebase connection string. Use one of the following formats for the rulebase connection string:

odb:0:userid/password@service
iir:rb

System

Name of the system to synchronize.

IDT

Specifies the IDT that you want to process. Ensure that the IDT is available in the specified system.

Rulebase Server Host:Port

Host name and port of the Rulebase Server.

If you use server groups, you can replace this parameter with the

-g<Rulebase Server Group Name>,<Rulebase Connection String>

parameter.

To add the Synchronization server to server groups, use the

-G<updsync Server Group Name>,<Rulebase Connection String>

parameter.

To add the

updmulti

clients to the server groups, use the

-H<Client Group Name>,<Rulebase Connection String>

parameter.

Search Server Host:Port

Optional. Host name and port of Search Server that you use to run searches. If you use multiple Search Servers, use this parameter to specify the Search Server.

-cMaxCycles

Specifies the maximum number of duty cycles to run before shutting down. Not relevant for Flat-File input. The default is to run until instructed to shut down (see

Stopping updmulti

).

-E

Optional. Enables the debug logs at run time for the NSA and Trigger transactions.

-fFlatFile

The name of the transaction file when using flat file synchronization.

-g<Rulebase Server Group Name>,<Rulebase Connection String>

Name of the Rulebase server group and the Rulebase connection string.

-G<updsync Server Group Name>,<Rulebase Connection String>

Name of the updsync server group and the Rulebase connection string.

-H<Client Group Name>,<Rulebase Connection String>

Name of the server group to which you want to add the

updmulti

clients.

-i[IDT[,IDX]]

Check the integrity of all IDTs and IDXs in this system, or a particular IDT and IDX. See the

Integrity Checking

section for details.

-k

Display erroneous records in detail. Used in conjunction with

-i

.

-l

Assume case of system name in txn file/table matches the case of the system name specified with the

-p

parameter. When not specified, a case insensitive (more expensive) select and compare mechanism is used.

-n

Treats the transaction file as a text file where records are separated by a newline. Without this option, the transaction file is interpreted as a binary file.

-oTime

Collect Optimizer statistics every Time seconds.

-Sn

Disconnects the connection to the source database and reconnects to it after the specified number of duty cycles.

-tTimeOut

Specifies the number of seconds between duty cycles. The default value is 60 seconds. A value suffixed with ms is treated as milliseconds.

-vpsui

Verbosity (p=progress, s=stats, u=usage, i=info)

-yMax[,Wait]

Fault tolerance feature. Synchronizer automatically restarts Max times in case of failure. For more information, see the Restarting Automatically section.

-zTxn

Transaction sequence number to skip.

-ZTxn

Transaction sequence number to delete.

-5<Job Number>:<Console Server Host Name>:<Console Server Port Number>

Required when you use flat-file synchronization. Indicates that the specified job connects to the Console Server through the specified port number. Use this parameter to enable the progress messages and the ability to shut down the synchronizer from the console. Specify the job number as 0 to connect to the Console Server and register the job as an anonymous job. Other job numbers are reserved for the jobs that the console launches.

--offset=nnn

This is an optional parameter which applies to flat-file processing only. This number, if present, is added to the sequence number of each record processed. May be used to ensure global uniqueness of flat-file transactions.

--parallel=n

Optional. Applicable only for Oracle. Indicates the number of threads that you want to use for the synchronization process. Use this parameter to perform parallel processing for improved performance.

--rbcheck

Requests periodic checks of Rulebase Server connectivity and to abort when inaccessible. Under normal circumstances,

updmulti

accesses the RB Server very seldom, and is therefore unaware that it may have stopped. This option is useful to automatically stop

updmulti

when the servers have been stopped with a hard shut down.

--validate

When synchronizing data using flat file or NSA table to Identity Table.

By default,

updmulti

performs the following validation checks:

Field	Validation
Numeric - N	Checks for a numeric value that aligns to the right and has leading zeros instead of spaces.
Character String - C	Checks for spaces. Does not allow a null value (0x0000) as a padding character.
Unicode String - W	Checks if the Unicode spaces (0x0020) has padding. Does not allow a null value (0x0000) as a padding character.

Use the

--validate

option to validate the data. The following validations are optional as the errors calculated here are based on percentage of occurrence:

Field	Validation
Character String - C	Counts the number of rows where values in column are using full buffer. Reports an error when 99% of data meets this condition. This may not be an error and could be due to data truncation.
Unicode String - W	Counts the number of rows where values in column are using full buffer. Reports error when 99% of data meets this condition. This may not be an error and could be due to data truncation. Count the number of rows where values contains invalid Unicode spaces as padding character, that is mix of endianess 0x2000 and 0x0020. The problem is 0x2000 is also valid Unicode, so if the 75% or more rows are ending with 0x2000 character on a big endian system or 0x0020 on little endian system, then report it as an error. Count the number of rows where values contains ASCII spaces instead of Unicode spaces as padding character, that is 0x2020 is used instead of 0x0020. Again the problem is 0x2020 is also a valid Unicode, so if the 75% or more rows are ending with 0x2020 character then report it as an error.

When you use the

--validate

option and it results in errors, the data cannot not be rolled back. It is recommended to use this option in a test environment. Ensure that the input data has correct Unicode spaces.

--reader_sz=nnn

Size of reader circular buffer size. The default value is 5000.

--se=<Search Server Host>:<Port>

Host name and port of Search Server to build and maintain persistent IDs. If you use multiple Search Servers, use this parameter to specify the Search Server. For more information about persistent ID, see

Informatica MDM Registry Edition Design Guide

.

--persist=Multi-Search-Name

Specifies the name of the clustering strategy that describes how to perform an initial clustering. The Update Synchronizer terminates after the initial clustering is created. Do not specify this parameter during normal synchronization. For more information about persistent ID, see

Informatica MDM Registry Edition Design Guide
