Loading the Initial Data Set for a Sun Master Index

The topics listed here provide information about generating the Initial Bulk Match and Load Tool for a master index application, configuring the match and load processes, matching bulk data, and loading bulk data into the master index database.

Note that Java CAPS includes two versions of Sun Master Index. Sun Master Index (Repository) is installed in the Java CAPS repository and provides all the functionality of previous versions in the new Java CAPS environment. Sun Master Index is a service-enabled version of the master index that is installed directly into NetBeans. It includes all of the features of Sun Master Index (Repository) plus several new features, including the Initial Bulk Match and Load Tool. Both products are components of the Sun Master Data Management (MDM) Suite. This document relates to Sun Master Index, however you can use the Initial Bulk Match and Load Tool with a repository-based master index application with some modification (see Using the Initial Bulk Match and Load Tool With Sun Master Index (Repository)).
