Mapping Address Data Using TIBCO GeoAnalytics

Prerequisites

To use Geo Analytics, configure the following properties in Configurator:
  • Geo Analytics Service
  • Geo Analytics Url
  • Tab name
  • Catalog list for GeoAnalytics
For information on these properties, refer to the section, "Configuration of TIBCO GeoAnalytics Map with MDM" in TIBCO MDM System Administration Guide. Additionally, you need to specify the repository attributes mapping.

Procedure

  1. After enabling the Tab name property, the GEO tab is displayed. For example, the tab is named as GEO Tab.
  2. Click the GEOTab to view the geographical map.
    If you have not entered the Geo attributes, the default location is displayed.
  3. To specify the location, drag and drop the location marker on the required address.
    A pop-up with a list of addresses based on the location is displayed.
  4. Select the address and click Set.
    The attributes are populated with the selected address from the list.

  5. You can also specify minimum details in the combination of Country code and City or Country code and Zip code and click Lookup.
    Note: The Lookup button is enabled after you enable the com.tibco.mdm.geo.lookup.enable property in Configurator.
    A list of valid addresses is displayed.

  6. Select the address and click Set.
    Note: When you select a address, a range of zip codes (for example, "97022- 98016") is displayed, as a result validation error Zip code Not Found occurs. Specify the appropriate zip code from the range. (for example, "97022-98016") in the zip attribute.
    If you specify an invalid address, a pop-up box with the appropriate message is displayed.


  7. Click OK to close the pop-up message.
