OSPF Sham-Link

Hello Group, I'm configuring ospf sham link in a small mpls network but the
sham link doesnt come up.
the config guide says that the ip address used for the SL must belong to the
VRF,
not be advertised in ospf and be advertised via BGP.
I created a dummy loopback in the corresponding VRF and then ip address,
have configured the SL command
under the ospf process for that vrf but am not sure how to have the dummy
loopback /32 address be advertised
via BGP, I mean redistribution or the network command?
