Generating the probabilistic matching engine bundle

After you have finished adjusting the data model or algorithms, you must regenerate the InfoSphere® MDM Probabilistic Matching Engine OSGi composite bundle file.

About this task

The OSGi composite bundle file contains the matching algorithm and data model that the InfoSphere MDM Probabilistic Matching Engine uses to perform suspected duplicate matching.

To generate the composite bundle:

Procedure

  1. From the Workbench MDM Configuration perspective menu, select Master Data Management > Generate PME Bundle Project....
  2. From the Configuration project list, select the name of your MDM project, for example, Party.
    Note: The default model is named Party.
    • If a new configuration model was created using the Party template, the name may differ and the associated configuration element will need to be updated following the instructions in Specifying a different InfoSphere MDM Probabilistic Matching Engine configuration.
    • If you choose to override the default Party model by keeping the model name, you must follow the following steps after you generate the bundle code:
      • update the version number in the Overview tab of the MANIFEST.MF file to be greater than the version number assigned by default (>11.4.0.0).
        Example: You can assign the version number 99.0.0.0 in order to make upgrading easier.
      • update the composite bundle that includes this project with the new bundle and version number
  3. In the PME bundle project, specify the name of your probabilistic matching engine bundle to be generated; for example, mdmpme.config.ext.
  4. In the OSGi composite bundle membership section, select Add module to composite.
    The CBA is required to deploy the bundle to WebSphere® Application Server.
  5. In the Composite project field, type the name of your composite project, mdmpme.config.ext.cba. Note that the bundle and composite project must have different names.
  6. Click Finish.
    The wizard will generate the probabilistic matching engine OSGi composite bundle (mdmpme.config.cba and mdmpme.config.ext.cba).
