Deploying Custom Buttons

Before you can see the custom buttons in the

Hub Console

, you need to explicitly add them using the DeployCustomFunction utility from the command line.

To deploy custom buttons:

Open a command prompt.

Run the DeployCustomFunction utility, which loads and registers a JAR file that a user has created.

To run DeployCustomFunction, two JAR files must be in the CLASSPATH—siperian-server.jar and the JDBC driver (in this case, ojdbc14.jar)— with directory paths that point to these files.

Specify following command at the command prompt:

java -cp siperian-server.jar; ojdbc14.jar com.siperian.mrm.customfunctions.dbadapters.DeployCustomFunction

Reply to the prompts based on the configured settings for your

Informatica MDM Hub

implementation. For example:

Database Type:oracle
Host:localhost
Port(1521):
Service:orcl
Username:ds_ui1
Password:!!cmx!!
(L)ist, (A)dd, (U)pdate, (C)hange Type, (S)et Properties, (D)elete or (Q)uit:l
No custom actions
(L)ist, (A)dd, (U)pdate Jar, (C)hange Type, (S)et Properties, (D)elete or (Q)uit:q

At the respective prompts, specify the following information (based on the configured settings for your

Informatica MDM Hub

implementation):

Database host

Port

Service

When prompted, specify database connection information: database host, port, service, login username, and password.

The DeployCustomFunction tool displays a menu of the following options.

Label	Description
(L)ist	Displays a list of currently-defined custom buttons.
(A)dd	Adds a new custom button. The DeployCustomFunction tool prompts you to specify: the JAR file for your custom button the name of the custom function class that implements the com.siperian.mrm.customfunctions.api.CustomFunction interface the type of the custom button: m—Merge Manager, d—Data Manager, h— Hierarchy Manager (you can specify one or two letters)
(U)pdate	Updates the JAR file for an existing custom button. The DeployCustomFunction tool prompts you to specify: the rowID of the custom button to update the JAR file for your custom button the name of the custom function class that implements the com.siperian.mrm.customfunctions.api.CustomFunction interface the type of the custom button: m—Merge Manager, h— Hierarchy Manager (you can specify one or two letters)
(C)hange Type	Changes the type of an existing custom button. The DeployCustomFunction tool prompts you to specify: the rowID of the custom button to update the type of the custom button: m—Merge Manager, and /or h— Hierarchy Manager (you can specify one or two letters)
(S)et Properties	Specify a properties file, which defines name/value pairs that the custom function requires at execution time (name=value). The DeployCustomFunction tool prompts you to specify the properties file to use.
(D)elete	Deletes an existing custom button. The DeployCustomFunction tool prompts you to specify the rowID of the custom button to delete.
(Q)uit	Exits the DeployCustomFunction tool.
