All Known Implementing Classes:: MasterControllerEJB

public interface MasterController

The MasterController interface is the interface of the Master Index Manager Service, which controls the primary functions of the master index. This includes the "execute match" functions, which are the primary functions used when processing records into the master index database. It invokes the matching logic to determine whether an incoming record is new or is an update to an existing record. One of the following methods should be executed when processing messages through the master index.

executeMatch
executeMatchUpdate
executeMatchDupRecalc

executeMatchUpdateDupRecalc

                                   UserException

Changes the status of a system object from active to inactive. If the enterprise object containing this system object has no active system objects remaining, the enterprise object is deactivated and all potential duplicate listings are deleted. If the enterprise object has active system objects after the transaction and the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR. If fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for the enterprise object.

Permanently deletes a system object from its associated enterprise object. If the enterprise object containing this system object has no active system objects remaining, the enterprise object is also deleted, along with any potential duplicate listings. If the enterprise object has active system records after the transaction and the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for the enterprise record.

Parameters:: systemKey - The system code and local ID of the system object to delete.
Returns:: void - None.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs while deleting the object.; UserException - Thrown if a parameter is invalid.

executeMatch

public MatchResult executeMatch(SystemObject sysObj)
                         throws ProcessingException,
                                UserException

executeMatch is one of four methods that process a system object based on the configuration defined for the Master Index Manager Service and associated runtime components. This method searches for possible matches in the database, and if it finds a match, it replaces the system object (instead of updating the system object, which is what executeMatchUpdate does). The following runtime components configure executeMatch.

The Query Builder defines the blocking queries used for matching.
Threshold configuration specifies which blocking query to use and specifies matching parameters, including duplicate and match thresholds and whether potential duplicates are automatically recalculated for updated records.
The pass controller and block picker classes specify how the blocking query is executed.

Parameters:: sysObj - The system object to process into the database.
Returns:: MatchResult - A match result object containing the results of the matching process.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during processing.; UserException - Thrown if an invalid parameter is passed to the method.

                                  throws ProcessingException,
                                         UserException

executeMatchDupRecalc is one of four methods that process a system object based on the configuration defined for the Master Index Manager Service and associated runtime components. It is configured by the same components as executeMatch, and is similar to executeMatch but allows you to control whether potential duplicates are recalculated when an object is updated regardless of whether the update mode is set to optimistic or pessimistic. executeMatchDupRecalc differs from executeMatch in two ways:

It provides an override flag for the update mode specified in the Threshold configuration file.
The match result object returned by this method includes an indicator of whether match fields were modified. This helps you determine whether you need to process potential duplicates for this object at a later time.

NOTE: To process potential duplicates at a later time, call calculatePotentialDuplicates.

Parameters:: sysObj - The system object to process into the database.; performPessimistic - A Boolean indicator of whether to recalculate potential duplicates on update or to defer it until later. Specify true to recalculate on update; specify false to defer the recalculation.
Returns:: MatchResult - A match result object containing the results of the matching process.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during processing.; UserException - Thrown if an invalid parameter is passed to the method.

executeMatchGui

public MatchResult executeMatchGui(SystemObject sysObj)
                            throws ProcessingException,
                                   UserException

The following runtime components configure executeMatchGui.

The Query Builder defines the blocking queries used for matching.
Threshold configuration specifies which blocking query to use and specifies matching parameters, including duplicate and match thresholds.
The pass controller and block picker classes specify how the blocking query is executed.

Parameters:: sysObj - The system object to process into the database.
Returns:: MatchResult - A match result object containing the results of the matching process.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during processing.; UserException - Thrown if an invalid parameter is passed to the method.

                                         UserException

Merges two enterprise objects based on the specified EUID and enterprise object. This method allows you to perform additional actions against the surviving enterprise object after the merge is performed. When this method is called with calculateOnly set to false, the application changes the status of the non-surviving enterprise object to "merged" and deletes all potential duplicate listings for that object. If the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR of the surviving enterprise object. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for the surviving object.

Parameters:: sourceEUID - The EUID of the non-surviving enterprise object.; destinationEO - The enterprise object that will survive after the merge process.; calculateOnly - A Boolean indicator of whether to commit changes to the database or to simply compute the merge results. Specify false to commit the changes.
Returns:: MergeResult - The results of the merge operation.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during the merge process.; UserException - Thrown if a parameter is invalid.

Merges two enterprise objects based on the specified EUID and enterprise object. This merge method takes the revision numbers of the SBRs so you can check for updates before finalizing the transaction, and also allows you to perform additional actions against the surviving enterprise object after the merge is performed. When this method is called with calculateOnly set to false, the application changes the status of the merged enterprise object to "merged" and deletes all potential duplicate listings for that object. If the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR of the surviving enterprise object. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for the surviving object.

The SBR revision numbers of both the surviving and non-surviving enterprise objects are passed as arguments. These are compared to the SBRs stored in the database. If they differ, it means that either the source or destination record was modified by another user. In this case, the merge should not be allowed.

Parameters:: sourceEUID - The EUID of the non-surviving enterprise object.; destinationEO - The enterprise object that will survive after the merge process.; srcRevisionNumber - The SBR revision number of the non-surviving enterprise object.; destRevisionNumber - The SBR revision number of the surviving enterprise object.; calculateOnly - A Boolean indicator of whether to commit changes to the database or to simply compute the merge results. Specify false to commit the changes.
Returns:: MergeResult - The results of the merge operation.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during the merge process.; UserException - Thrown if a parameter is invalid.

Merges multiple enterprise objects based on the specified EUIDs and enterprise object. The source EUIDs will each be successively merged into the destination EO. For example, sourceEUIDs[0] will be merged into the destination EO. Then sourceEUIDs[1] will be merged into the destination EO. Next, sourceEUIDS[2] will be merged into the destination EO. If there are n merges, there will be n merge transaction log entries. All of these transactions must be unmerged in order to restore the state prior to the multiple merge. This merge method takes the revision numbers of the SBRs so you can check for updates before finalizing the transaction, and also allows you to perform additional actions against the surviving enterprise object after the merge is performed. When this method is called with calculateOnly set to false, the application changes the status of the merged enterprise object to "merged" and deletes all potential duplicate listings for that object. If the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR of the surviving enterprise object. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for the surviving object.

Parameters:: sourceEUIDs - The EUIDs of the non-surviving enterprise object.; destinationEO - The enterprise object that will survive after the merge process.; srcRevisionNumbers - The SBR revision number of the non-surviving enterprise object.; destRevisionNumber - The SBR revision number of the surviving enterprise object.; calculateOnly - A Boolean indicator of whether to commit changes to the database or to simply compute the merge results. Specify false to commit the changes.
Returns:: MergeResult[] - The results of the merge operations.

                                     UserException

Merges two system objects from the specified system. The system objects may belong to a single enterprise object or to two different enterprise objects. They must originate from the same system. When this method is called with calculateOnly set to false, the application changes the status of the merged system object to "merged". If the system objects were merged within the same enterprise object and the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for the enterprise object.

If the two system objects originated from two different enterprise objects and the enterprise object that contained the unkept the system object no longer has any active system objects, that enterprise object is deactivated and all associated potential duplicate listings are deleted. If both enterprise objects are still active and the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields that are used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR for each enterprise object. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for each enterprise object.

Parameters:: systemCode - The system to which the local IDs of the objects to be merged belong.; sourceLID - The local ID of the non-surviving system object.; destLID - The local ID of the surviving system object.; calculateOnly - A Boolean indicator of whether to commit changes to the database or to simply compute the merge results. Specify false to commit the changes.
Returns:: MergeResult - The results of the merge operation.

                                     UserException

Merges the source system object into the destination system object. This merge method allows the new image of the merged system object to be defined if the sending system includes this information. The system objects may belong to a single enterprise object or to two different enterprise objects. They must originate from the same system. When this method is called with calculateOnly set to false, the application changes the status of the merged system object to "merged". If the system objects were merged within the same enterprise object and the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for the enterprise object.

Parameters:: systemCode - The system to which the local IDs of the objects to be merged belong.; sourceLID - The local ID of the non-surviving system object.; destLID - The local ID of the surviving system object.; destImage - The new image for the destination system object. For example, if the system object contains a person object, then a person object must be used.; calculateOnly - A Boolean indicator of whether to commit changes to the database or to simply compute the merge results. Specify false to commit the changes.
Returns:: MergeResult - The results of the merge operation.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during the merge process.; UserException - Thrown if a parameter is invalid.

                                     UserException

If the system objects were merged within the same enterprise object and the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for the enterprise object. Regardless of the value of the update mode, if the performPessimistic flag is set to true the application checks for key field updates and then checks for potential duplicates. If the performPessimistic flag is set to false, neither of these steps is performed.

If the system objects originated from two different enterprise objects and the enterprise object that contained the unkept the system object no longer has any active system objects, that enterprise object is deactivated and all associated potential duplicate listings are deleted. If both enterprise objects are still active and the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields that are used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR for each enterprise object. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for each enterprise object. Again, the value of the performPessimistic flag overrides the value of the update mode.

Parameters:: systemCode - The system to which the local IDs of the objects to be merged belong.; sourceLID - The local ID of the non-surviving system object.; destLID - The local ID of the surviving system object.; destImage - The new image for the destination system object. For example, if the system object contains a person object, then a person object must be used.; srcRevisionNumber - The SBR revision number of the source enterprise object.; destRevisionNumber - The SBR revision number of the destination enterprise object.; calculateOnly - A Boolean indicator of whether to commit changes to the database or to simply compute the merge results. Specify false to commit the changes.; performPessimistic - A Boolean indicator of whether to recalculate potential duplicates on update or to defer it until later. Specify true to recalculate on update; specify false to defer the recalculation.
Returns:: MergeResult - The result of the merge operation.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during the merge process.; UserException - Thrown if a parameter is invalid.

Merges two system objects from the specified system. The system objects may belong to a single enterprise object or to two different enterprise objects. They must originate from the same system. This method includes the revision numbers so you can check for updates before finalizing the transaction. When this method is called with calculateOnly set to false, the application changes the status of the merged system object to "merged". If the system objects were merged within the same enterprise object and the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for the enterprise object.

The revision numbers of both the source and destination SBRs are passed as arguments. These are compared to the SBRs stored in the database. If they differ, it means that either the source or destination records were modified by another user. In this case, the merge should not be allowed.

Parameters:: systemCode - The system to which the local IDs of the objects to be merged belong.; sourceLID - The local ID of the non-surviving system object.; destLID - The local ID of the surviving system object.; srcRevisionNumber - The SBR revision number of the source enterprise object.; destRevisionNumber - The SBR revision number of the destination enterprise object.; calculateOnly - A Boolean indicator of whether to commit changes to the database or to simply compute the merge results. Specify false to commit the changes.
Returns:: MergeResult - The result of the merge operation.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during the merge process.; UserException - Thrown if a parameter is invalid.

                                         UserException

Reverses an assumed match transaction, unmerging the two objects that were matched and creating a new enterprise object for the record that caused the assumed match. Potential duplicates are calculated for the new enterprise object regardless of the update mode. If the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR of the original enterprise object. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for that object.

Parameters:: assumedMatchId - The assumed match ID of assumed match transaction to reverse.
Returns:: String - The EUID of the newly created enterprise object.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during the undo process.; UserException - Thrown if the assumed match ID is invalid.

                                           UserException

Unmerges the two enterprise objects that were involved in the most recent merge transaction for the specified EUID. The enterprise object that had a status of "merged" after the merge transaction is changed to an active object. You can retrieve the active enterprise object (represented by activeEUID) by calling MergeResult.getDestinationEO. You can retrieve the reactivated enterprise object by calling MergeResult.getSourceEO.

When this method is called with calculateOnly set to false, the application changes the status of the merged enterprise object back to "active" and recalculates potential duplicate listings for object. If the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR of the enterprise object that was still active after the merge. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for that enterprise object.

Parameters:: euid - The EUID of the enterprise object to be unmerged.; calculateOnly - An indicator of whether to commit the unmerge to the database or to calculate the changes for viewing. Specify true to calculate for viewing; specify false to commit the changes to the database.
Returns:: MergeResult - The result of the unmerge transaction.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during the unmerge process.; UserException - Thrown if the EUID is invalid.

                                           boolean calculateOnly)
                                    throws ProcessingException,
                                           UserException

Unmerges the two enterprise objects that were involved in the most recent merge transaction for the specified EUID. The enterprise object that had a status of "merged" after the merge transaction is changed back to an active object after the unmerge. You can retrieve the active enterprise object (represented by activeEUID) by calling MergeResult.getDestinationEO. You can retrieve the reactivated enterprise object by calling MergeResult.getSourceEO.

This method allows you to specify a revision number for the SBR of the enterprise object to unmerge so you can check for updates before finalizing the transaction. When this method is called with calculateOnly set to false, the application changes the status of the merged enterprise object back to "active" and recalculates potential duplicate listings for object. If the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields (that is, fields used for matching or blocking) were updated in the SBR of the enterprise object that was still active after the merge. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for that enterprise object.

The SBR revision number of the enterprise object to unmerge is passed as an argument. This is compared to the SBR stored in the database. If the two differ, it means that the record was modified by another user. In this case, the unmerge should not be allowed.

Parameters:: euid - The EUID of the enterprise object to unmerge.; revisionNumber - The SBR revision number of the enterprise object to unmerge.; calculateOnly - An indicator of whether to commit the unmerge to the database or to calculate the changes for viewing. Specify true to calculate for viewing; specify false to commit the changes to the database.
Returns:: MergeResult - The result of the unmerge transaction.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during the unmerge process.; UserException - Thrown if the EUID is invalid.

unmergeSystemObject

public MergeResult unmergeSystemObject(java.lang.String systemCode,
                                       java.lang.String sourceLID,
                                       java.lang.String destLID,
                                       boolean calculateOnly)
                                throws ProcessingException,
                                       UserException

Unmerges the two system objects that were involved in the most recent merge transaction for the specified local ID. The system object that had a status of "merged" after the merge transaction is changed to an active object. When this method is called with calculateOnly set to false, the application changes the status of the merged system object back to "active". If the source enterprise object (the object that contained the merge result system object after the merge) has more than one active system object after the unmerge and the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields were updated in that object. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for the source enterprise object.

If the source enterprise object has only one active system, potential duplicate processing is performed regardless of the update mode and regardless of whether there were any changes to key fields. If the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields were updated in the SBR for the destination enterprise object. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated for the enterprise object.

Parameters:: systemCode - The system to which the local IDs of the objects to be unmerged belong.; sourceLID - The local ID of the non-surviving system object.; destLID - The local ID of the surviving system object.; calculateOnly - A Boolean indicator of whether to commit changes to the database or to simply compute the merge results. Specify false to commit the changes.
Returns:: MergeResult - The result of the unmerge transaction.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during the unmerge process.; UserException - Thrown if a parameter is invalid.

                                       UserException

The SBR revision number of the enterprise object containing the system objects to unmerge is passed as an argument. Before finalizing the unmerge, the revision number is compared to the SBR stored in the database. If they differ, it means that the record was modified by another user. In this case, the unmerge should not be allowed.

Parameters:: systemCode - The system to which the local IDs of the objects to be unmerged belong.; sourceLID - The local ID of the non-surviving system object.; destLID - The local ID of the surviving system object.; srcRevisionNumber - The SBR revision number of the enterprise object containing the system objects to unmerge.; calculateOnly - A Boolean indicator of whether to commit changes to the database or to simply compute the merge results.

                                              java.lang.Boolean performPessimistic)
                                       throws ProcessingException,
                                              UserException

Updates the database to reflect the new values of the specified enterprise object. This method is similar to updateEnterpriseObject but it allows you to control whether potential duplicate recalculation is performed when an enterprise object is updated, regardless of whether the update mode is set to optimistic or pessimistic. This method differs from updateEnterpriseObject in two ways:

It provides an override flag for the update mode specified in the Threshold configuration file.
The update result object returned by this method includes an indicator of whether match fields were modified. This helps you determine whether you need to process potential duplicates for this object at a later time.

NOTE: To process potential duplicates at a later time, call calculatePotentialDuplicates.

Parameters:: eo - The enterprise object (EnterpriseObject class) to be updated.; performPessimistic - A Boolean indicator of whether to defer potential duplicate processing. Specify true to recalculate potential duplicates on update; specify false to defer recalculation to a later time.
Returns:: UpdateResult - The UpdateResult object created from the update.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during the update.; UserException - Thrown if the enterprise object containing the updated data is invalid.

updateEnterpriseObject

public void updateEnterpriseObject(EnterpriseObject eo)
                            throws ProcessingException,
                                   UserException

Updates the database to reflect the new values of the specified enterprise object. If the enterprise object is deactivated during the update, potential duplicates are deleted for that object. If the enterprise object is still active, was changed during the transaction, and the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields were updated in the SBR of the enterprise object. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated.

Parameters:: eo - The enterprise object (EnterpriseObject class) to be updated.
Returns:: void - None.
Throws:: ProcessingException - Thrown if an error occurs during the update.; UserException - Thrown if the enterprise object containing the updated data is invalid.
