Implement Infosphere Master Data management behavior Extension

Realize business value based on event operation master data

Before you start

This tutorial is for Infosphere Master Data Management Server. When you implement this comprehensive MDM solution, some of your business requirements may require modifications to the default behavior of out-of-the-box MDM business Services. MDM Business services are used to maintain master data, such as customers, products, accounts, contracts, or locations. This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Infosphere Master Data Management Server to implement behavior extensions for the available MDM business services.

Goal

The objectives of this tutorial are:

Understand how to extend the Infosphere MDM Server to achieve master data that can be manipulated by events

Learn more about the architecture of the MDM service and the various scenarios that extend the custom MDM service with data addition, data extension, and behavior

Create and deploy two behavioral extensions using Java extensions and ILOG jrule extension mechanisms

Mastering the error type and implementation of the Code

Prerequisite

This tutorial is intended for it architects and IT specialists who want to learn more about how to change the default behavior of the Infosphere Master Data Management Server deployment. This tutorial assumes that you have the basics of Java EE Development knowledge and experience. Knowing the following areas is helpful for understanding this tutorial, but even if you don't understand these topics, we will provide enough information to help you understand this tutorial:

MDM Server Web Services

IBM Rational Development Tools

MDM Workbench

System Requirements

To use this tutorial, your system must meet the following requirements:

More than 2 GB of RAM.

GB of free disk space.

You can install Rational Software Architect version 7.0 for WebSphere Software (or later) and MDM Workbench operating systems.

Brief introduction

Many companies now have a master data Management (MDM) solution that can help them manage their master database. One of the factors contributing to business growth is the ability to streamline the process of introducing new products to reduce time-to-market, which is based on a more efficient and consistent product master data flow. Another factor is the ability to use clean, consistent customer and product master data records and customer-product relationship information to improve cross-selling and up-selling capabilities.

After the company has deployed the underlying MDM functionality, it will naturally encounter problems such as how to use master data more efficiently and with greater agility to achieve better performance. This is where the ability to manipulate master data based on events and notifications is in place. Some examples are given below:
