Install GDSN Data Quality Rule Configurations

1. Backup the Product 360 server's dataquality folder (PIM 8.0: <PIM_SERVER_SHARED_DIR>/dataquality).

2. Copy (and replace) the file StandardDataQualityMappingProfile.xml to the subfolder config of the Product 360 server's dataquality folder. (<PIM_SERVER_SHARED_DIR>/dataquality/config)

   1. For IM the StandardDataQualityMappingProfile.xml to be used can be found here: \DataSource\IM\RuleConfigurationPackageGDSN\dataquality\config

   2. For DSE the StandardDataQualityMappingProfile.xml to be used can be found here: \DataSource\DSE\RuleConfigurationPackageGDSN\dataquality\config

Adjust Repository

It is not necessary to do repository adjustments for IM. During the start of the Product 360 server the repository will be adjusted automatically according to the configured GDSN pool.

Those steps are described in the "Repository configurations" chapter as well as options for manual custom-specific repository adjustments.

If you are using the DSE pool, please have a look at "Configuration for DSE", to see the necessary adjustments.

Adjust application modules

In the "application_modules.properties" file you have to activate the used GDSN modules, see chapter "Application modules" for more details.

Install Product 360 Desktop Client enhancements

1. Unpack the archive PIM_<Version>_Rev-xxxxx_client_gdsn.delta.zip into the Product 360 client folder.

2. Start the client.

Create supplier and customer

1. Create a supplier with your own Information Provider GLN

   

2. Create a customer with your own Information Provider GLN (this is needed for publication to market groups(IM Only))

3. Create a customer with the GDSN Pool GLN (=recipient GLN)

   

4. Maintain the GLN on all your customers

The GLNs are necessary to get the answers from the pool back to the PIM and are used by the B2B to create the publication status messages.

Load and save export templates

The used export templates differ depending on which product is used for communicating with the pool (OpenAS2/Informatica B2B DX) and the exact scenario (IM/DSE, DataSource/DataRecipient). In the Accelerator Setup section you will find further information about the export templates used in your scenario and how to proceed with them.

Install GDSN Data Quality rules and reference data

1. Add GDSN specific rules:

   1. Open the perspective "Data quality"

   2. Select any custom rule configuration

   3. Open the "Select data quality rule" dialog (".."-button) (If the rule configurations are read only, create new one to be able to import rules.)

   4. Click the button "Add rules from file"

   5. choose the file <GDSN_RESOURCES_PATH>/Common/RulePackageGDSN/Informatica_PIM_GDSN.xml

   6. Wait until the rules were added successfully

2. Add GDSN specific reference data

   1. In the "Select data quality rule" dialog (see step 2.c. above) click the button "Add reference data from file"

   2. Choose the file <GDSN_RESOURCES_PATH>/Common/RulePackageGDSN/Informatica_PIM_GDSN.zip

   3. in the "Adding reference data" dialog leave the defaults and click "OK".

   4. Wait, until all dictionaries are deployed, which is done automatically within a server job of type "Deployment of reference data (scheduled)".

Import GPC Structure

1. Download the latest files from the GS1 website: http://www.gs1.org/gpc/production

   1. It is recommended to download the Combined Published Schema, or the subset of the required industry

   2. The excel file GS1 Combined Published_Schema as at 0000000.xlsx from the zip archive is needed

2. Create a new output structure system with identifier "GPC". Configure that multiple assignments are not possible for this structure system.

3. Use the import mapping <GDSN_RESOURCES_PATH >/ Common/GPC structure import/GPC en.him to import the downloaded excel file

4. Switch the structure system to type "classification system"

Load Dashboard

The GDSN accelerator package contains 2 dashboard templates, one for IM data source scenario and one for DSE data source scenario. The templates are designed for business users who are working with GDSN and contain typical widgets for their daily work such as a widget showing how many items are already sent to the pool or how many items are already published.

To use the dashboards please open the "Manage Dashboard templates" dialog at the menu "Management". Then click on "Load dashboard templates from file" and select your dashboard. You can assign this dashboard to your GDSN user group in the organization perspective (in the view "User groups"), so it will be opened whenever a user of this user group opens the web client.

Some parameters need to be adjusted to the company's details:

<parameter key="groupingField" value="Article.Status->PublicationStatusEntry.ResponseType('Super CPG','World Mart',DE,PUBLICATION_RESPONSE,${Default})"/>

• 'Super CPG' should be replaced with the Name of the Supplier holding the GLN of the own company

• 'World Mart' should be replaced with the Name of the default customer who should be visualized

• DE should be replaced with the required Target Market
