Loading the Initial Data Set for a Sun Master Index

Initial Bulk Match and Load Tool Match String Configuration

When you generate the IBML Tool, the configuration of the match string is copied from the master index Project to the IBML Tool configuration file. The match string is used by all IBML Tools processing the data, so this section should be identical for all IBML Tools. This section is provided so you can modify the match string during the analysis phase in order to fine–tune the match logic to achieve the best match results. As with the query configuration above, you can quickly change the match string configuration and analyze the results without needing to modify the master index application and regenerate the IBML Tool.

Ideally, the match string defined in loader-config.xml is as close as possible to the match string defined in mefa.xml in the master index Project. This assures consistent matching results between the initial data set and future transactions.
