IM Relationship Resolution Information Center, Version 4.2

Enabling the IBM Global Name Recognition Name Hasher feature

Enabling IBM Global Name Recognition Name Hasher feature for UMF <NAME> segment data quality processing can improve name parsing, culture classification, gender classification, and name hash generation.

Before you begin:

Customers should not enable this feature on an existing IBM Relationship Resolution version 4.2 installation. If the IBM Global Name Recognition Name Hasher feature is enabled on an existing installation without reloading all existing data in the system from the data sources, entity resolution of new data will fail against the existing data in the system. The required installation method for customers wanting to enable the IBM Global Name Recognition Name Hasher feature is to perform a clean IBM Relationship Resolution version 4.2 installation, then install the IBM Relationship Resolution version 4.2 fix pack 1, then manually enable the IBM Global Name Recognition Name Hasher feature, and finally load all of the data into the system.

About this task:
The following steps must all be completed in the order below to enable the IBM Global Name Recognition Name Hasher feature.
Procedure:
  1. Run the database specific post-installation SQL script.
  2. In the Configuration Console, enable the DQM 660 rule for the IBM Global Name Recognition Name Hasher feature.
  3. In the Configuration Console, configure the DQM 660 rule CME HTTP Transport URI parameter for the IBM Global Name Recognition Name Hasher feature.
  4. In the Configuration Console, enable the DQM 610 rule for the Global Name Recognition Name Hasher feature to generate a composite key for name hashes.
  5. In the Configuration Console, configure the DQM 255 rule UMF Exclude parameter value for the UMF <NAME> segment.
  6. In the Configuration Console, configure the DQM 255 rule Gender Characteristic Type for the UMF <NAME> segment.
  7. In the Configuration Console, disable the DQM 252 rule for the UMF <NAME> segment.
  8. ONLY if you are using IBM Entity Analytic Solutions Name Manager, in the Configuration Console, enable the DQM 260 rule for the UMF <NAME> segment. Enabling the DQM 260 rule without having IBM Entity Analytic Solutions Name Manager installed will cause the rule to fail and the pipeline will shutdown.
  9. In the Configuration Console, add the UMF <ATTRIBUTE> segment to the Default w/ Name Only candidate builder configuration.
  10. In the Configuration Console, configure the data sources to use the Default w/ Name Only candidate builder configuration.
  11. Verify that the IBM Global Name Recognition Name Hasher feature servlet is running.
