Using Reference Data: Universal Addressing Module

To access and use the Reference Data, first fetch the data from the e-store in ZIP format.

For Validate Address Global and Validate Address Loqate, simply extract the contents of the ZIP file and the Reference Data is ready for use.

For Validate Address, perform the mentioned steps to extract the Reference Data to your machine.

Note: Ensure that execute permission is granted to the aq folder.
  1. Log in with admin rights or as a root user.
  2. Change the directory to the location <BDQ_Installation>/SDK/utilities/dbloader/aq/scripts/server.
  3. Run the script installdb_unc using the command:
    sh installdb_unc.sh <BDQ_Installation/SDK> <Acushare runtime path>

    This command also verifies whether the Acushare service is running. If not, then this command starts the service.

  4. After executing this command, the options displayed are:
    • US Subscription: Press 1 to list the available types of data loading, as mentioned in the next step.
    • Exit: Press 99 to exit.
  5. Enter the specific number for the type of data you want to load.


  6. Specify the path where the sourced data sets are placed.
    The data sourced from the e-store is available as Reference Data input, which is required to perform the Universal Addressing Module's jobs. For the output file location, the system displays the default output path.
  7. The input file location and the output file location are displayed.
    Enter c to continue, m to modify the default path or q to quit.

    The input data is extracted at your designated output file location.
  8. The system prompts to verify whether or not your new RDI file location is correct. Enter y or n.


The system starts loading the data. The data is extracted in the specified output directory.
Note: Repeat the steps for the type of data that you want to load.
