Calling Data Matching and Data Cleansing from Scripts or Workflows

This topic provides information about calling data matching and data cleansing methods from external callers such as scripts or workflows.

You can call data quality from external callers to perform data matching. You can use the Value Match method of the Deduplication business service to:

• Match data in field or value pairs against the data within Siebel business components
• Prevent duplicate data from getting into the Siebel application through non-UI data streams

You can also call data quality from external callers to perform data cleansing. There are preconfigured Data Cleansing business service methods—Get Siebel Fields and Parse. Using an external caller, such as scripting or a workflow process, you first call the Get Siebel Fields method, and then call the Parse method to cleanse contacts and accounts.
