Monitor-OEDQ-Webservice-with-Siebel

Monitor Oracle Enterprise Data Quality (OEDQ) web service when connected with Siebel instance. 

The post will explain, how to visualize the data running through EDQ process:

Here we have two options:

1. Based on process:

 a). Temporary: cancel real-time process from the Director application user     
      interface and select the match processor, the rules hit, data in and data out etc.,related output tabs can view on results browser.

 b). Permanent: we can used writer processor to write output of match processor.


2. EDQ Web service Tester:

   Launchpad -> web Service Tester, by using this we can easily identify the whether the web service is            working as expected or not (for more details please refer the Oracle documentation).

OEDQ Overview Presentation

Please go through the following link which will give the brief idea on Oracle Enterprise Data Quality overview for quick understanding.

Guided Merge Functionality in Oracle Customer Hub (Siebel UCM)

The following steps are required to enable guided merge functionality in Oracle Customer Hub (Siebel UCM):

·          The following Workflow to be called from “Guided Merge” button and modify as follows:

o    Name:   UCM Process Merge Request

o    Change following Process properties:

§   EnablePubub : True (default string : False)

§   EnableSE: True (default string:  False)

o    Activate the workflow from client

·          Client: Enable Merge Tasks

o    Navigate to Administration – Business Process–>Task Deployment.

o    Click the Active Tasks tab, then in the Name field, query for UCM*

·          Enable and publish as follows for task based UI screen to perform Guided Merge:

o    Navigate to Administration – Business Process–>Task Deployment.

o    Click the Active Tasks tab, then in the Name field, query for UCM*.

§   UCM Merge Account Request Task

§   UCM Merge Account Task

§   UCM Merge Contact Request Task

§   UCM Merge Contact Task   and restart the server

·          Add Responsibility for accessing “Guided Merge”  features

·          Invoke “Guided Merge”  button :

o    Go to “Existing Duplicates” tab from “Admin-UCM” screen

o    Query and click on duplicate record.

o    Click on “Guided Merge” button will appears in below applet

o    Guided Merge popup applet will be display and do the necessary changes and proceed to next applet

o    Click on submit button

·          Adding new fields to “Guided Merge”

The following changes are required to add new fields in following IC’s at respective IO’s

o    Account:

§   IO: UCMAccountTaskUIMerge ;  IC: Account

§   IO: UCMAccountMerge;  IC: Account

o    Contact:

§   IO: UCMContactTaskUIMerge; IC: Contact

§   IO: UCMContactMerge; IC: Contact

·          Deploy IO’s as follows:

o    Tools > Integration Object

o    Right Click > Deploy to Runtime Database

·          Limitations:

o    Guided Merge functionality supports only for Account and Contact entities only and not support for child entities.

Oracle Enterprise Data Quality – About Profilers

Oracle Enterprise Data Quality – About Profiler:

·          The profilers are intended purely to analyze data

·          They are used to quickly understand the data

·          They are used to help find the issues in provided data

·          Profilers  do not 'check' data for business rules

·          Profilers  do not have output filters like ‘valid’ or ‘invalid’ records

The following are some of the different Profilers:

1.     Quickstats Profiler: It is used to analyze overall data i.e. analyze high-level completeness, duplication, and value frequency across many attributes, and highlights possible issues.  Input as ‘any’ data type

2.     Character Profiler: it is used to analyze a number of attributes and counts of the instances of each character. Input as ‘strings’ data type only

3.     Contained Attributes Profiler: it is used to analyze records to find pairs of attributes where one attribute value commonly contains another. Input as ‘any’ data type

4.     Data Types Profiler: it is used to analyze attribute values for their data type e.g String, Number or Date - and assesses data type consistency.  Input as ‘any’ data type

5.     Date Profiler: it is used to analyze a Date attribute for date distribution by day of week, day of month, day of year, month and year.  Input as ‘Date’ data type only

6.  Equal Attributes Profiler:  it is used to analyze records to find pairs of attributes that commonly have the same values.  Input as ‘any’ data type

7.     Frequency Profiler: it is used to analyze value frequency across many attributes.  Input as ‘any’ data type

8.     Length Profiler:  it is used to analyze a number of attributes and measures the length of values by number of characters.  Input as ‘any’ data type

9.     Max/Min Profiler: it is used to find minimum and maximum values e.g:  longest, shortest, lowest and highest.  Input as ‘any’ data type

10.  Number Profiler:  it is used to analyze a Number attribute for number distribution across user-defined bands.  Input as ‘Number data type only

11.  Patterns Profiler: it is used to analyze character patterns, and pattern frequency, across many attributes.  Input as ‘any’ data type

12.  Record Completeness Profiler:  it is used to analyze records for their completeness across many attributes.  Input as ‘any’ data type

13.  Record Duplication Profiler:  it is used to analyze records for duplicates across many attributes.  Input as ‘any’ data type

                 14. RegEx Patterns Profiler:  it is used to analyze a number of attributes for values 
                      that match a list of regular expressions.

Siebel dedicated Client – Host Name

The following post will explain to resolve the following error and normally this will come when we try to open dedicated client:

Error message:   “Requested Server could not be found” or  “Your requested host ‘server name’ could not be resolved by DNS Server”

Solution: Modify the parameter in CFG file:

Under [Siebel] section

a). EnableFQDN = FLASE (by default its set to TRUE, so it will pick the computer name and display in     browser as target address.  If set to FALSE, it will display localhost in browser as target address)

b). Internet explorer > Tools > Internet options > connections tab > LAN settings > Bypass proxy server for local addresses set to TRUE.

FQDN: Fully Qualified Domain Name
