DeDuplication Field n

Deduplication has a set of numbered user properties that set up correspondences between Firstlogic fields and Fields in Business Components. These field mapping properties have names of the form DeDuplication Field n, where n is an integer value (for example, DeDuplication Field 7). The syntax for the Value property in a DeDuplication Field user property is the same as for a DataCleansing Field user property: the value consists of a pair of quoted strings in double quotes, separated by a comma, with the first string identifying the Firstlogic field name and the second string identifying the Siebel name. The set of fields mapped in DeDuplication Field user property is the set of fields that is passed in records in the candidate set to the Firstlogic Connector. The candidate set consists of records with a dedup token exactly or partially matching the calculated dedup token of the record being added or modified, and therefore representing possible duplicates.

The Prospects business component requires additional user property configuration beyond that required for Contacts and Accounts. Prospects share name processing capabilities in the Firstlogic Connector with Contacts, and Contact data (rather than Prospect data) is assumed by the system to be present. In order to specify that Prospect data is being processed, two additional two user properties must be added, DeDuplication Results business component and DeDuplication Results applet.
