Configuring Sun Master Indexes (Repository)

To Define a Field to be Normalized (XML Editor)

Before You Begin

In the Object Definition file, create the field that will contain the new normalized value. For more information, see Adding a Field to the Master Index Object Structure (Repository).

In the Projects window, expand the Configuration node in the project you want to modify, and then double-click the Match Field file.

The file opens in the NetBeans XML editor.

In the structures-to-normalize element, create and name a new group element.

Make sure the new element falls within the structures-to-normalize element, but outside any existing group tags.

In the new group element, define the standardization-type and domain-selector attributes (these are described in Master Index Normalization and Standardization Structure Properties (Repository).

If you specified the multiple domain selector for the domain-selector attribute, do the following:
1. In the group element, create a locale-field-name element and a locale-maps element (described in Master Index Normalization and Standardization Structure Properties (Repository) and Master Index Locale Codes Properties (Repository)).
2. For each variant you want to use, define a locale-codes, value, and locale element in the locale-maps element (described in Master Index Locale Codes Properties (Repository)).

To specify the source fields to normalize, do the following:
1. Create a new unnormalized-source-fields element in the group element.
2. Create a source-mapping element in the new unnormalized-source-fields element.
3. Define the unnormalized-source-field-name and standardized-object-field-id elements (these are described inMaster Index Normalization and Standardization Structure Properties (Repository)).

To map the normalized data to destination fields, do the following:
1. Create a new normalization-targets element under the unnormalized-source-fields element that defines the field to map.
2. Create a target-mapping element in the new normalization-targets element.
3. Define the standardized-object-field-id and standardized-target-field-name elements (these are described in Master Index Normalization and Standardization Structure Properties (Repository)).

Save and close the file.
