Creating master data by using Supply Side GDS
You need to configure the GDS Persona - Supply Side after the installation.
Perform the following tasks to configure the GDS Persona - Supply Side.
- Load GDS data model
- You need to load GDS data model to configure the GDS Persona - Supply Side, see Post-installation setup. These steps are to be performed post-installation.
- Configure Market Group
- Market groups that are defined in 1WorldSync can be used during publishing items. To use these groups, you need to configure the market groups, which are of interest in the Market Group Catalog. The members (trading partners) associated with a market group are also required to be added in the market group definition. This is useful to identify partners to whom items have been published and record their responses (Received, Synchronized, and so on). It is recommended to configure all market groups, which would be used during publishing of items in the Market Group Catalog. If one does not intend to use Market Groups during publishing, this configuration can be skipped.
