Configuring an entity node label

The entity node label is configured by setting the contents of a <nodeLabel> element.

About this task

The entity node label uses replacement patterns.

For example, <nodeLabel> This is my entity named {replacementPattern}</nodeLabel> replaces {replacementPattern} with the matching replacementPattern attribute that is returned from the operational server. For physical MDM, the attribute is in the server response XML file. For virtual MDM, the attribute is returned directly from the server.

Procedure

  1. Open the BPMConfig.XML file.
  2. Specify the <nodeLabel> for the entity.
    Examples of different entity node labels:
    Example 1:
    <entity type="id" cvw="EMCA">
  <nodeLabel>{LGLNAME:onmLast}, {LGLNAME:onmFirst}</nodeLabel>
    Example 2:
    <entity type="Person" mdmType="//mdm:TCRMPersonBObj" 
   id="mdm:PartyId" showRelationships="true">
  <nodeLabel>{mdm:DisplayName}</nodeLabel>
    Example 3:
    <entity type="Organization" mdmType="//mdm:TCRMOrganizationBObj" 
   id="mdm:PartyId" showRelationships="true">
  <nodeLabel>{mdm:DisplayName}</nodeLabel>
    Example 4:
    <entity type="Hierarchy" mdmType="//mdm:DWLHierarchyNodeBObj" 
   id="mdm:HierarchyNodeId">
  <nodeLabel>{mdm:InstancePK}, {mdm:Description}</nodeLabel>
  3. Save and close the BPMConfig.XML file.
