Running the InfoSphere MDM batch match enrichment process

The InfoSphere® MDM batch enrichment process uses the InfoSphere MDM Batch Processor feature, which reads the enrichment inbound (response) batch file from Dun & Bradstreet, parses the input, and executes the enrichOrgWithDnBData transaction to update or add organization and hierarchy information to InfoSphere MDM.

About this task

Note: For more information about the InfoSphere MDM Batch Processor feature, see ../com.ibm.mdmhs.dev.platform.doc/concepts/c_Using_the_WCC_Batch_Processor.html.
To run the InfoSphere MDM batch match enrichment process:

Procedure

  1. Start the batch job using the batch startup script.
    Note: The script requires several input parameters; see ../com.ibm.mdmhs.dev.platform.doc/concepts/c_Using_the_WCC_Batch_Processor.html for details.
    To start the batch job, you must provide the URL of the inbound layout file and the customized version of the batch extension properties file, DunAndBradstreet\resource\sql\db2\DnBEnrichment_extension.properties. The extension properties file contains the information used by the Batch Processor to control the kind of parser that InfoSphere MDM uses to parse the inbound batch file.
    • The enrichment parser DnBEnrichmentSampleBatchParser produces the transaction object to execute the enrichOrgWithDnBData transaction.
    • The Batch Processor sends this transaction object to InfoSphere MDM for processing.
    • InfoSphere MDM constructs the transaction response as XML and returns it to the Batch Processor.
  2. Optionally, you can change the format of the response by modifying the ProcessConfiguration.Constructor property in the DnBEnrichment_extension.properties file.
