Do you want to find duplicates and perfect a search algorithm for your InfoSphere MDM

Physical implementation? Then this course is designed for you. The InfoSphere MDM V11

Physical Module Algorithms course prepares you to work with and customize the algorithm

configurations deployed to the InfoShere MDM Probabilistic Matching Engine (PME) for the

Physical MDM implementation.

• Understand how Duplicate Suspect Processing and Search (using PME) work for Physical Implementations of InfoSphere MDM
• Understand the MDM configuration project and database tables used by the PME
• Understand the PME Algorithms (Standardization, Bucketing and Comparison steps) and how to create and customize the algorithms using the workbench
• Understand how to analyze the Bucketing steps in an algorithm
• Understand how to generate weights for a given algorithm and how those weights are generated based on a sample database set.
• Understand how to analyze the weights that are generated using the workbench
• Understand how to deploy the PME configuration for a Physical implementation of InfoSphere MDM.
• Understand the integration between the Physical module and the PME

This advanced course is for Business and Technical Specialist working with Suspect Duplicate Processing and Search services of InfoSphere MDM.

If you are new to MDM, you should take the follwowing courses:

• Introduction to InfoSphere Master Data Management V11.3 - WBT (1Z801G)

If you have experience with InfoSphere MDM, you do not need to take course 1Z801G.

Prior to enrolling, IBM Employees must follow their Division/Department processes to obtain approval to attend this public training class. Failure to follow Division/Department approval processes may result in the IBM Employee being personally responsible for the class charges.

GBS practitioners that use the EViTA system for requesting external training should use that same process for this course. Go to the EViTA site to start this process: http://w3.ibm.com/services/gbs/evita/BCSVTEnrl.nsf

Once you enroll in a GTP class, you will receive a confirmation letter that should show:

• The current GTP list price
• The 20% discounted price is available to IBMers for GTP delivered courses only. This is the price you will be invoiced for the class.
