Important: Image Analytics Package / Image Deduplication: This functionality has been deprecated and is no longer supported and/or available for new installations. This documentation is retained as a reference only for customers already using the functionality and for whom it remains available in the current state. The functionality will be removed in the future so customers using this should make plans to transition away from their implementation of it.
Before creating image deduplication configurations, a setup group must be created to hold the configurations. You must also specify the setup group(s) in which the configurations can be created. This setup only needs to be performed once.
Prerequisites
This setup requires the 'Maintain type hierarchy (node types)' privilege as defined in the Setup Actions and Error Descriptions topic (here), and the 'Maintain Setup Groups' privilege as defined in the Setup Groups topic (here), both in the System Setup documentation.
Review your System Setup tab to determine if one or more image deduplication configuration nodes already exist. The name of the node on your system is not required to match the one in the image below.
Once the setup has been completed, the steps in this topic are only needed if additional levels of organization are desired.
Create the Image Deduplication Configurations Setup Group
- In System Setup, expand Object Types & Structures.
- Right-click 'Setup Group type root', and choose New Object Type.
- Enter an ID and a Name, select any required Dimension Dependencies, and click Create.
- The new setup group appears in System Setup under 'Object Types & Structures' as a child in the Setup Group type root.
Link the Image Deduplication Configurations Object Type to Setup Group
- In Object Types & Structures, expand Basic Object Types, and select Image Deduplication Configurations.
- On the References tab, open the Parents flipper and click the Add Parent link.
- In the Select New Parent dialog, select the setup group you created, and click Select to make it a valid parent.
Create an Instance of the Image Deduplication Object
- On the System Setup tab, select any object in the System Setup hierarchy to activate the following Maintain menu selection.
- Click the Maintain menu, point to Insert, and select Setup Group Root.
- In the Create Setup Group Root dialog, select the image deduplication object type, enter an ID and a Name, and click Create.
A setup group is created as a node in the System Setup hierarchy. Image deduplication configurations can now be created under this new node, as defined in the Creating an Image Deduplication Configuration topic here.
Image Deduplication Attributes
Image deduplication attributes are descriptive attributes that must be created under the top attribute group node, and are valid for all assets. For more information on how to create attributes, refer to the Attributes section in the System Setup documentation here.
