Step 4: Define the Deployment Environment

MySQL is only supported in Java CAPS 6 Update 1.

Once you define systems, you must specify information about the deployment environment, including the database, match engine, and standardization engine vendors.

Figure 5 Define Deployment Environment

To Define the Deployment Environment

1. Complete Step 3: Define Source Systems.

2. On the Define Deployment Environment window, enter the following information:

   • Database – The type of database being used for the master index application. You can select MySQL, Oracle or SQL Server.

   • Match Engine – The type of match and standardization engine to use for the implementation. Currently, the only option is “Sun Match Engine”.

   • Date Format – The date format for the master index system. This defines how dates should be entered and how they appear on the MIDM. You can select MM/dd/yyyy, dd/MM/yyyy, or yyyy/MM/dd.

   • Transaction Mode – An indicator of whether transactions are distributed. Select one of the following options:

     • XA (across applications), if the transactions will be distributed across multiple applications

     • XA (within application only), if the transactions will be distributed just across the master index application.

     • Local, if the transactions will not be distributed.

3. When you have defined the deployment environment fields, click Next.
