Deployment manager for master data management

摘要

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to deploy a data management application to a target computer system. Metadata for a master data management (MDM) application is stored in a deployment database. The metadata is representative of business rules and process workflows that manage business data from multiple sources and a model definition for a model for a central business database. Configuration settings for the MDM application are stored in the deployment database. The metadata and configuration settings are retrieved from the deployment database. Installation instructions of the MDM application are confirmed based on input into a graphical user interface. The master data management application is installed on the target computer system based on the installation instructions, metadata, and configuration settings.
