IM InfoSphere Identity Insight, Version 8.0

Data Sources - General tab

Use the General tab to specify the details of the data source.

ID
Type the ID number of the data source you want to create.

The ID is an auto-incrementing numeric code. While the product provides the next available number in sequence, you can set the code to be any unique numeric value by typing that value in the ID field.

Code
Type the code of the data source you want to create.

This is the value of the DSRC_CODE UMF tag. The data source code value can be alphanumeric and is used to further identify a data source. This value must be unique and cannot be changed once the record has been saved.

Description
Type the description of the data source you want to create.
Location
From the drop-down list, select the location code for the data source you want to create.

This field is for reference use only.

Source System
From the drop-down list, select the source system code for the data source you want to create.

This field is for reference use only.

Status
From the drop-down list, select Active to specify that this data source is active. Otherwise, select Inactive.
Trust Action
From the drop-down list, select Yes to specify that you can rely on the accuracy of the ACTION UMF tag from your data source. Otherwise, select No to determine the action by examining the entity database. Selecting No will introduce a performance hit.
For Searching
From the drop-down list, select Yes to specify that this data source is used for loading searches. Otherwise, select No.
Transliterate
From the drop-down list, select Yes to specify that transliteration should occur for this data source. This allows support for the Latin 1 character set. Otherwise, select No.
Note: If you enable the transliterate setting for any data source, you must also enable the transliterate configuration setting for data source ID 1589 (Search). The 1589 data source is used by the product to input searches to the pipeline, and by default, assumes ASCII character inputs. Enabling this configuration ensures that names that are part of a search are also properly transliterated to provide the most accurate search results.
