Abstract

This document describes how to download and install IBM QualityStage Address Verification Reference Data, Version 10.6, on Cloud Pak for Data to enable the usage of the Address Verification Interface (AVI). AVI is managed as part of Cloud Pak for Data.

Download Description

The IBM QualityStage Address Verification Interface (AVI) provides comprehensive address parsing, standardization, validation, and geocoding, which is available in selected packages against reference data files for over 240 countries and territories. The reference data files are refreshed quarterly to provide the most current address data for a country or territory.

Installation steps:

The AVI interface is already managed as part of the Cloud Pak for Data installation, so you need to install only the reference data files.

  1. Review the system requirements, and ensure that you are running a supported environment.
  2. Download your parts with the following steps:
    1. Search for the latest part numbers on the web page InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface Files, Version 10.6.
    2. Go to the Find Downloads and Media web page on the IBM Passport Advantage website.
    3. Under Download finder options, select the Find by part number search option.
    4. Search for each downloadable image by part number.
    5. Download all of the following required parts:
      • Installation Manager to install reference data files.
      • Appropriate reference data files (parsing, address, or address and geo).
    6. Use a file-extracting utility that supports large file extractions to extract each of the parts into a single, temporary directory on your system.
  3. Create a directory for target data installation and name it, for example, “LQTDB”. This directory is where reference data is to be stored.

    For example, to create the folder “LQTDB” in the /tmp/ directory, run the following command:
    mkdir -p /tmp/LQTDB
  4. Create a directory for the reference data set .zip file.

    For example, to create a directory named “avi_install” in the /tmp/ directory, run the following command:
    mkdir -p /tmp/avi_install
    Then, move all the .zip files to this directory and extract them.

    Tip: The reference data pack might contain more than one part to download because of its size, such as in the following example. In this case, you can move all the files in decompressed folder M07CZEN and M07D0EN into one destination, for example named "worldwide_data", and use this directory path for the valid download path prompt at installation time.

  5. Run Install Manager.
    1. Go to the directory that Installer Manager was extracted to and run the following command:
      ./IBM_InstallManager.sh

      After you extract a compressed file, the data for that compressed file is stored in a directory that is named after the part number. In this case, it is saved under M04S1EN.

    2. If many products need to be installed, select an option:
      image-20220912152106-3
    3. Select Y/N option to back up old data:
      image-20220912152159-4
    4. Enter the installation data directory again (from step #3).
      image-20220912152306-5
  6. Search for the pod name for “px-runtime” by running the following command:
    oc get pods | grep "px-runtime"
    image-20220912152458-6

    Two pods are returned and the first one is by default. Since "ds-storage" is global, you need to copy to one of the pods only.
    Note the pod name. It is used later to copy the data installation directory over.
  7. If the old LQTDB in the pod still exists, remove it.
    For example, to remove the LQTDB in pod name, kd1-ibm-datastage-px-runtime-5f4956857d-gddnj, run the following command:
    oc rsh kd1-ibm-datastage-px-runtime-5f4956857d-gddnj
    rm -rf /opt/ibm/data/avi/LQTDB/
  8. Copy the data installation directory (for example, /tmp/LQTDB) to the pod px-runtime (for example, kd1-ibm-datastage-px-runtime-5f4956857d-gddnj), by running the following command:
    oc cp /tmp/LQTDB kd1-ibm-datastage-px-runtime-5f4956857d-gddnj:/opt/ibm/data/avi/

The installation of the reference database is complete.
