Locating and importing the InfoSphere MDM Probabilistic Matching Engine model

The InfoSphere® MDM Probabilistic Matching Engine model consists of the data model definitions and associated algorithms that are used for matching MDM data.

About this task

The model definitions and matching algorithms can be extracted from com.ibm.mdm.mds.pme.configuration_11.x.x.jar bundle located in the <workbench install folder>\com.ibm.mdm.tools\server_bundles\mdm\ folder.

Procedure

1. Extract the contents of the com.ibm.mdm.mds.pme.configuration_11.x.x.jar file to a local file system, then extract the resultingmdmpme.config.zip file.
2. In the MDM Workbench, in the MDM Configuration perspective, click Master Data Management > New Configuration Project.
3. Specify Party as the project name to create a new virtual MDM project with the name Party.
   Note: By convention, the new project name should be the same as the name of the .imm file that is part of the import.

   If a different name is required, the configuration element /IBM/BusinessServices/PME/configuration will need to be modified accordingly. For more information, see Specifying a different InfoSphere MDM Probabilistic Matching Engine configuration
4. Click Next to continue and accept all default selections.
5. Delete the party.imm file that the New Virtual Hub Project wizard has just created.
6. Exit, then restart the MDM Workbench.
7. Select File > Import, then select General > File System as the import source.
8. To define the From Directory, browse and select the configuration directory extracted from the mdmpme.config.zip file. Select all the contents of the directory to import.
9. Specify Party as the Into Folder.
10. Click Finish. The Workbench will import all of the selected files.
11. If you are asked if you wish to overwrite existing files, select Yes.
    Tip: If you are importing over an existing configuration and encounter errors during the import process, delete the .alg and .imm files, then reimport the project.
12. Refresh the Party project in the MDM Workbench.
