Enabling Data Quality at the Enterprise Level

Before performing any batch data matching or date cleansing tasks, you must first enable the Data Quality Manager server component for the enterprise. Data Quality Manager is the preconfigured component in the Data Quality component group that you use to run your data quality tasks.

There are three possible ways to enable the Data Quality component group:

  • When you install a Siebel Server, you can specify the Data Quality component group in the list of component groups that you want to enable.

  • If you do not choose to enable the Data Quality component group during installation, you can enable it later using the Siebel Server Manager. For more information about enabling component groups using the Siebel Server Manager, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

  • You can enable the Data Quality component group from your Siebel application, as described in this topic.

    Note: If you use Siebel Server Manager (srvrmgr) to list component groups, groups that were enabled from the Siebel application are not listed.

The enterprise parameters DeDuplication Data Type and Data Cleansing Type specify respectively the type of software used for data matching and data cleansing. These parameters are automatically set according to what you choose for data matching at Siebel Server installation time. However, it is recommended that you check the values for these parameters to make sure they are appropriately set for the enterprise.

Use the following procedures to enable and disable Data Quality Manager and to configure the enterprise parameter settings for data matching and data cleansing.
