The hybrid MDM implementation requires mapping between
virtual MDM and physical MDM models, or data structures. You might
need to modify the mapping to accommodate new attributes before you
validate and deploy it.
About this task
Within the InfoSphere® MDM
Workbench, you can create, configure, and deploy the key assets to
enable your hybrid MDM implementation. The steps in the procedure
are described in more detail in the topics that follow.
Procedure
- In the InfoSphere MDM
Workbench, follow the steps to create projects in the workspace.
- If you make changes to the mapping or to the configuration,
ensure that the mapping and configuration stay in sync. Use the Graphical
Data Mapper tool in the InfoSphere MDM
Workbench to modify the mapping.
- Confirm that virtual MDM data includes values for any fields
considered mandatory by physical MDM.
- If necessary, modify the default hybrid MDM composite view
to account for your own survivorship rules.
- Whether you use the default composite view or modify it,
you must deploy it to make it available to the hybrid MDM API.
- Examine the two default external rules. The rules can be
augmented with your own logic to customize the way that entities are
synchronized and persisted from virtual MDM to physical MDM.
