To Generate the Initial Bulk Match and Load Tool

Before You Begin

Make sure the master index application and database are created and configured. The configuration for the object structure, blocking query, match string, and matching rules should be as close to final as possible. You can use the Bulk Matcher to perform the final tuning on the blocking query and matching rules.

1. In the NetBeans project window, right-click the main project of the master index application and then select Generate Loader Zip.

   The file is generated and downloaded to NetBeans_Projects\Project_Name\loader-generated.

2. On your computer, navigate to NetBeans_Projects\Project_Name\loader-generated and extract the contents of loader.zip.

3. If you are distributing the match and load processes across multiple processors, extract the contents of loader.zip to each machine processing the data.

4. If the IBML Tools are running on UNIX, make sure the run-loader.sh and generate-sql-loader.sh files have execute permission. Use chmod to grant permission if necessary.

5. Continue to Configuring the Environment.
