In this procedure, you specify whether you want the project to include process flows for full Quality processing or if you simply want to identify countries and add the country attribute to each record. You also determine the type of output you want (an entity for each country or a single entity).
To configure the Global Data Router
-
In the Global Data Router outputs section, select the output option you want to apply to this project.
- Create output entity for each country. This is the default. When selected, the Global Data Router process creates an output entity for each country in the project except the basic countries that are using the ZZ template. (For those countries, the process creates a single flow and output entity.)
- Write identified country records to a single output entity. Select this option if you want the Global Data Router to create a single output file. The Router identifies the country associated with each record and adds that information in a new attribute, but it does not split the countries into separate files.
- By default, the Global Data Router creates a no-match output entity for all records that do not match the selected countries. Clear the Create nomatch output check box if you do not want to create this entity.
-
Select the Create flow for nomatch output check box if, in addition to the Router output entity, you want to create a Quality flow for unmatched countries. If you select this option, select a country to use for processing unmatched country records from the drop-down list.
Note: This option is not available if you opted to write all country records to a single output entity.
-
If you selected Transformer Unified Output in the previous procedure, the Merge Country Flows option displays. If you want to merge the outputs from the Transformer Unified Output process into a single output, select this option. This will create a Merge/Split process (Multi-Country Merge). SeeTransformer Unified Output for details.
Note: The Merge/Split process (Multi-country Merge) is designed for batch only and cannot be deployed in a real-time environment. If a real-time project includes the Merge/Split process, the process will be excluded when the project is deployed for use in real time.
- If you want to create an entity group for each country flow, select Create Entity Group for Country Flows. This new entity group will be placed at the Global Data Router's output for each country.
- By default, when you create an output entity for each country, you automatically create a process flow for each country that has a template. If you prefer, you can clear one or more check boxes in the Create process flows for countries.
-
Click Next. The Parser Inputs window opens. If you selected the Include basic country processing check box in the Selecting Country section, the Select Basic Countries window displays. Select the basic countries for which you want to create a process flow and click Next.
Go to the next procedure to specify the Parser inputs.
