Design-Time Features

The Sun Master Index tools provide your business with flexibility in designing and creating indexing applications. This flexibility allows you to perform the following tasks.

• Rapidly develop a master index for any type of business entity using a wizard to create the framework and using a graphical editor to configure the attributes of the index.

• Automatically create the primary components of the master index.

• Customize the strategies that determine the field values to populate into the single best record (SBR).

• Configure the matching algorithm and logic by specifying the fields to standardize, the fields to use for matching, and the matching logic to use for each field.

• Incorporate a Java API that is customized to the object structure you define. You can call the operations in this API in the Collaboration Definitions or eInsight Business Processes of different Projects.
