Step 4: Define Master Index External Systems (Repository)

A SQL script is automatically created to insert the systems you specified in the wizard. These statements are provided in the Systems file in the master index project. Before you begin this step, complete Step 2: Create a Master Index Database and User (Repository) and, optionally, Step 3: Define Master Index Database Indexes (Repository).

To Define an External System

1. Under the master index project in the Projects window, expand Database Scripts and then open the Systems file in the NetBeans editor.

2. For each system, create an INSERT statement using the column descriptions in Master Index Database Table Description for sbyn_systems (Repository) to define the VALUES clause.

   For example:

   INSERT into sbyn_systems (systemcode, description, status, id_length, format, input_mask, value_mask, create_date, create_userid) VALUES (’ARS’, ’Automated Registration System’, ’A’, 10, ’[0-9]{10}’, ’DDD-DDD-DDDD’, ’DDD^DDD^DDDD’, sysdate, ”admin’);

3. Delete any default INSERT statements you do not need.

4. Save and close the file.

5. Continue to Step 5: Define Master Index Code Lists (Repository).
