sdq_set_parameter Function

This function is called, after the call to sdq_init_session, to set parameters that are applicable at the session context. The vendor must put the configuration file, if using one, in .\siebsrvr\SDQConnectorpath. When the vendor DLL is loaded, it calls the sdq_init_connector API function (if it is exposed by the vendor) with the absolute path to the SDQConnector directory. It is then up to the vendor to read the appropriate configuration file. The configuration file name is dependent on vendor specifications. 

Using the sdq_set_parameter API, any session parameters specific to the vendor can be put as a user property to the DeDuplication business service, where the format of the business service user property is as follows:

"Session", "Parameter Name", "Parameter Value"

These session parameters are set to the vendor, after each session opens with the vendor. Your can define user properties for the DeDuplication business service as follows:

Property: My Connector 1
Value: MyDQMatch

Property: MyDQMatch Parameter 2
Value: "Session", "zSessParam2", "zSessParam2Val"
