Patterns Data Synchronizer - Overview

TIBCO® Patterns stores data tables while performing its role as an inexact matching engine. For some installations, these tables must be synchronized with tables stored in another database system. The Patterns Data Synchronizer (PDS) provides a basic solution for performing synchronization to Patterns from another data source.

PDS is a Java™-based command line utility. PDS obtains changes by polling the source database. PDS processes the changes in batches. Each PDS command synchronizes a single table. For multiple tables, run one PDS command per table.

This section describes the process of using Patterns Data Synchronizer with TIBCO® Patterns.
