Use the PDW Catalog Search screen to search the Product Data Warehouse (PDW) Catalog for product descriptions that match other product descriptions. The system displays this screen when you are running a merge and it does not find a match for the metadata item. To manually display the screen, use the Search hot key.
Search the PDW Catalog for matching product records by entering keywords of three characters or longer. The system displays all matching PDW product records containing the keywords. If only one match exists for the product record, the system enters that match on this screen.
To search for matching PDW product records:
From the Tools > Product Data Warehouse (PDW) menu, select PDW Merge Utility to display the PDW to PDW Merge Utility screen.
If the system does not automatically display the PDW Catalog Merge Search screen when you run the merge, use the Search hot key to display it.
The system enters the first PDW product record data in the following fields:
|
PDW Data Field |
Description |
|
PDW ID |
The Eclipse product number. |
|
Unique Key |
The PDW metadata item identifier. |
|
Description |
The first line of the PDW product's description. |
In the Search Keywords field, enter the keywords you want the system to use in the search that are also part of the PDW product description.
Use the Search hot key to search the PDW Catalog.
If there are several matching descriptions, the system displays a list from which you can select the product record to merge. Once you select a product record, the system displays its information in the second PDW Data column.
If the system finds only one match, it displays the product and its information in the second PDW Data column.
Use the Accpt hot key to accept the match for the merge and return to the PDW Merge Utility screen.
