With the configuration and preparation complete, you have
several options for loading data from virtual MDM source systems into
the centralized physical MDM database. Note that for all incremental
data loads to hybrid MDM (that is, data loads that follow an initial
load), you must use the persistEntity API.
Before you begin
The steps in this section assume that you have run the bulk
cross match (BXM) process after you loaded data for virtual MDM.
About this task
To load hybrid MDM data, you can either:
- Load data with the Register Virtual Entities for Physical
MDM job available within the IBM® InfoSphere® MDM Workbench.
The job creates cross-reference keys between virtual MDM data and
physical MDM data. It does not fully persist the data from the virtual
MDM into the physical MDM. In the terminology of hybrid MDM, this
configuration is known as entity registration mode. (The
alternative configuration is known as full persistence mode.)
- Use the batch persistence functionality within the Batch Console
application. Internally, the batch persistence job invokes the persistEntity
transaction. You can configure batch persistence to run the persistEntity
transaction in either entity registration mode or full persistence
mode. With the default configuration, batch persistence runs in entity
registration mode.
