Generating the Initial Bulk Match and Load Tool

In order to use the IBML Tool, you need to generate the tool from the master index application for which it will be used. You generate the tool from the master index project in NetBeans. The tool is generated based on the information you specified in the wizard and any changes you made to the configuration files before generating.

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.
