Distributed Data Cleansing

You can run multiple

Process Servers

in parallel to increase the throughput of the cleanse process.

When you register a

Process Server

in the Hub Console, configure the following properties for each

Process Server

to enable a distributed cleanse process:

Property	Description
Offline	Specifies whether a Process Server is online or offline. Disable this property to ensure that a Process Server is online.The MDM Hub ignores the settings for the Offline property. Taking the Process Server online or offline is an administrative task.
Enable Cleanse Operations	Specifies whether to use the Process Server for cleanse operations. Enable to use Process Server for cleanse operations. Disable if you do not want to use the Process Server for cleansing. Default is enabled.
Threads for Cleanse Operations	Specifies the number of threads that a server must handle. Set the thread count higher than the number of CPUs available.
Enable Match Processing	Specifies whether to use the Process Server for match operations. Enable to use Process Server for match operations. Disable if you do not want to use the Process Server for match operations. Default is enabled.
CPU Rating	Rates the relative strength of CPUs of the Process Server machines. Assign a higher rating to a machine with a more powerful CPU. The MDM Hub assigns jobs to machines based on CPU rating.

The MDM Hub distributes the cleanse job if the minimum size for distribution is reached.

The following table describes the distributed cleanse and match properties that you can set in the

cmxcleanse.properties

file:

Property	Description
cmx.server.match.distributed_match	Specifies whether a Process Server is enabled for distributed cleanse and match. Set to 1 to enable distributed cleanse and match.
cmx.server.cleanse.min_size_for_distribution	Specifies the minimum size for distribution. The MDM Hub distributes the cleanse job if the minimum size for distribution is reached. The default is 1,000.
