Configuring Sun Master Indexes

ProcedureTo Modify the Match String (XML Editor)

  1. In the Projects window, expand the Configuration node in the project you want to modify, and then double-click mefa.xml.

    The file opens in the NetBeans XML editor.

  2. Scroll to the MatchingConfig element, and then scroll to the match-system-object element.

  3. To add a field to the match string, do the following:

    1. In the match-columns element, create a new match-column element.

    2. In the new match-column element, create and define a column-name element.

      Enter the fully qualified field name of the field on which to match (for example, Enterprise.SystemSBR.Person.Address.City).

    3. Following the column-name element, create and define a match-type element.

      Enter an ID that identifies the field to the match engine. For the Master Index Match Engine, this value must correspond to a defined match type.

      For example:


      <match-system-object>
   <object-name>Address</object-name>
   <match-columns>
     <match-column>
       <column-name>Enterprise.SystemSBR.Person.Address.StreetName
       </column-name>
       <match-type>StreetName</match-type>
     </match-column>
   </match-columns>
</match-system-object>

  4. To change a field used in the match string, change the value of the column-name element.

    Enter the fully qualified field name of the new field (for example, Enterprise.SystemSBR.Person.FirstName).

  5. To change the type of matching to perform for a field, change the value of the match-type element.

    Enter an ID that identifies the field to the match engine. For the Master Index Match Engine, this value must correspond to a defined match type.

  6. To delete a field from the match string, delete all text between and including the match-column element defining the field you want to delete.

    Using the example below, to delete the HouseNo field from the match string, delete the boldface text.


    <match-system-object>
  <object-name>Address</object-name>
  <match-columns>
     <match-column>
       <column-name>Enterprise.SystemSBR.Person.Address.StreetName
       </column-name>
       <match-type>StreetName</match-type>
     </match-column>
     <match-column>
       <column-name>Enterprise.SystemSBR.Person.Address.HouseNo
       </column-name>
       <match-type>HouseNumber</match-type>
     </match-column>

  7. Save and close the file.

  8. To define or modify exclusion lists of values to be removed from the match process, see Filtering Default Values From Master Index Processes
