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
- In the Configuration Console, select .
- From the Parameter Group list, select
the NAMEMANAGER parameter group.
- 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.
