Configuring system parameters for the Name Manager

By default, the Name Manager name scoring system parameters are configured when you install the product. But you can update the default system parameters, when needed. For example, you might need to change the location of the Name Manager support libraries.

About this task

You set the path to the Name Manager support libraries and enable categorizing names by type through Name Manager system parameters. You also set the CROSSCHECKCULTURE system parameter to configure name processing between different name cultures.

Procedure

  1. In the Configuration Console, select Setup > General > System Parameters.
  2. From the Parameter Group list, select the NAMEMANAGER parameter group.
  3. From the left pane, select the Name Manager system parameter to configure:
    SUPPORTPATH
    Indicates the location of the Name Manager support files.
    The default value is ./data, which is a path relative to the top-level product directory. If the support files are moved to a different location during installation, modify this value to the absolute path of the new location.
    NAMESIFTER
    Indicates whether the name categorization by name type (personal or organizational names) functionality is turned on:
    • To enable categorizing names by type (Name Sifter functionality), enter 1 (new installation default) in Current Value.
    • To disable categorizing names by type (Name Sifter functionality), enter 0 (upgrade default) in Current Value.
    CROSSCHECKCULTURE
    Indicates whether to perform Name Manager name scoring between name cultures when the name cultures are different.
    • To only check the inbound name culture before scoring both names, enter 0 in Current Value.
    • To check name culture values before scoring them (new installation default), enter 1 in Current Value.
    Attention: This system parameter affects how entity resolution handles name scoring by culture in the pipelines. Before changing this system parameter from its current value, consult IBM Services or Support.
  4. Click Save.
