To utilize and implement Data Quality Management (DQM) functionality, you must set up and administer the DQM tools. These tools are integrated with TCA and can be used by any Oracle Applications E-Business Suite application to search the TCA Registry and identify or prevent duplicates.

To administer Data Quality Management:

1. Review information about the current DQM setup. See: DQM Administration Overview Page.

2. Create word replacements.

3. Define attributes and transformations.

4. Generate the staged schema and indexes.

5. Define and compile match rules.

6. Synchronize the staged schema with the TCA Registry.

7. Maintain the Merge Dictionary.

8. Define DQM profile options.

   Note: To set the HZ: Merge Master Party Defaulting profile option to User Hook, you must create a custom user hook. See: Creating Custom Merge Master Party Defaulting Method.

9. At any time, you can run Diagnostic reports to get comprehensive details about the current DQM setup. See: DQM Diagnostic Reports.
