Siebel Data Quality Administration Guide > Configuring Siebel Data Quality > Match PurposeThe concept of match purpose is used by the embedded SSA-NAME3 software of the Matching Server. SSA-NAME3 supports different match purposes so that different fields are used in matching for different types of records. The Account, Contact, and List Mgmt Contact Prospect business components each have a SSA Match Purpose user property that you can set to one of the following values, which correspond to match purposes:
Each of these values specifies which fields in the record count against the total match score. Fields are defined as optional or mandatory as shown in Table 24. When a field defined as optional contains a null value in either of the records being compared, it does not contribute to the total match score for the record pair. When a field defined as mandatory contains a null value in either of the records being compared, the null value is treated the same as a non-null value and does contribute to the overall match score for the record pair. For more information about match purpose, refer to the SSA-NAME3 documentation. |
