Running Data Management in Batch Mode

To run Siebel Universal Customer Master (Siebel UCM) data management processes in batch mode, you create a component job based on the server component UCM Batch Manager (alias: UCMBatchProcess).

This component job invokes the batch workflow. The workflow queries, cleanses, matches, and publishes the UCM records. The batch process performs matching of the incoming record against the existing records in Siebel UCM. There are three match cases that can occur: no match, one match, or multiple matches. The workflow internally calls the transaction manager and survivorship rules, depending upon the match case type.

NOTE:  If there are duplicates within the same batch transaction, Siebel UCM captures the duplicates and displays them in the Conflict Resolution view where data stewards can review and merge the records as appropriate.

For background information on administering component jobs, see Siebel System Administration Guide.
