Data Manager Hangs!

[Former Member]

Hi Everybody

I am using MDM SP04 version 5.5.34.26. In Data Manager, i had set up the matching strategy using 3 fields(Description,Location and Price).In the Rules tab, the Properties for these fields are

Description:

Function : Equals

Fields : Description

Success : 55

Failure : -25

Location :

Function : Equals

Fields : Location

Success : 20

Failure : 0

Price :

Function : Equals

Fields : Price

Success : 25

Failure : 0

I created a new strategy and the property for the strategy is as follows:

Max Score : 100

Min Score : -25

the threshold values are given automatically

The Scoring Rules:

i included all the 3 fields i.e.

Description, Location, Price.

In matching mode, i wanted to compare records, i selected two records, right click on it

Match records->selected vs .results->strategy. The data manager hangs! It hangs when i select Match records->selected vs all->strategy. sometimes when i select

Match records->selected vs selected->strategy , it works fine, but sometimes it hangs.

Could someone tell me the correct way of using the the 3 options?

Thanks

HI Vinod ,

you should use match records option according to the requirement:

Selected vs. Selected <b>--></b> Matches selected records against themselves.

Selected vs. Results <b>--></b> Matches selected records against the search results.

Selected vs. All <b>--></b> Matches selected records against all records.

Results vs. Results <b>--></b> Matches search results against themselves.

Results vs. All <b>--></b> Matches search results against all records.

All vs. All <b>--></b> Matches all records against themselves.

You may be having many records in the data manager, that is why it hangs when u select Selected Vs All or selected Vs Result. It may be possible that your Data Manager is unable to process the load .

In case of Selected Vs Selected -- the records to be compared are only 2 as in your case and hence wont cause a problem.

Please reward if helpful.

Hi Shiv

Thanks for the immediate reply. The total number of records in the repository here are only 11. i hope this shouldn't be a problem for the data manager! even when i use the first option selected vs selected, sometimes the Data Manager used to hang. any more suggestions, could u explain me when u'll use the the 2nd and 3rd option i.e

Selected vs. Results --> Matches selected records against the search results.

Selected vs. All --> Matches selected records against all records.

Thanks Again

Hi Vinod,

<b>Selected vs. Results</b> --> will match the records selected by u with those only records which fulfills the search criteria specified by u.

<b>Selected vs. All</b> --> will match the records selected by u with all the records present in the table.
