Preferred Record Search Operation

The Preferred Record Search operation searches the primary key table in the repository and retrieves the records that match the input data based on the rules in the matching rules file. The Preferred Record Search operation then uses the cluster numbers of the matching records to return the corresponding preferred records from the preferred record table.

Before you run the Preferred Record Search operation, run the Get Multisearch Layout operation to get the search layout details in the JSON format for the matching rules file. Based on the search layout details, you can configure the input parameters for the Preferred Record Search operation.

Ensure that you consolidate the linked data before you run the Preferred Record Search operation.

Run the

run_client.sh

script located in the following directory to perform the Preferred Record Search operation:

/usr/local/mdmbdrm-<Version Number>

Use the following command to run the

run_client.sh

script:

run_client.sh

--config=configuration_file_name

--rule=matching_rules_file_name

--operation=PREFERREDRECORDSEARCH

--input=input_file_name

[--outputfile=output_file_name]

The following table describes the options and arguments that you can specify to run the

run_client.sh

script:

Option	Argument	Description
--config	configuration_file_name	Absolute path and file name of the configuration file that you create.
--rule	matching_rules_file_name	Absolute path and file name of the matching rules file that you create.
--operation	PREFERREDRECORDSEARCH	Type of operation that you want to perform. Specify PREFERREDRECORDSEARCH as the value.
--input	input_file_name	Absolute path and name of the input JSON file that you configure based on the search layout details.
--outputfile	output_file_name	Optional. Absolute path and name of the output JSON file to which you want to load the search results.

For example, the following command identifies the matching records for a single search record:

run_client.sh --config=/usr/local/tree/configuration.xml --rule=/usr/local/conf/matching_rules.xml --operation=PREFERREDRECORDSEARCH --input=/usr/local/tree/input.json --outputfile=/usr/local/tree/output.json

The following sample response shows the preferred record for the input record:
