Setting the Deduplication Data Type for Data Matching


For you to enable data matching, the Deduplication Data Type parameter must be set for the enterprise. You can choose to use the Siebel Data Quality Matching Server or the Siebel Data Quality Universal Connector as your match solution at the time of your Siebel Server installation. The applicable setting for the DeDuplication Data Type parameter is automatically set during install. However, you can also review or change that setting through the Siebel Server Manager. Use the following procedure to review or change the Deduplication Data Type parameter setting at the enterprise level.

To review or change the Deduplication Data Type setting for the enterprise

  1. Log in to the Siebel application with administrator responsibilities.
  2. From the application-level menu, choose Site Map > Server Administration > Enterprise Configuration.
  3. Click the Enterprise Parameters view tab.
  4. In the Parameter field in the Enterprise Parameters list, query for the DeDuplication Data Type parameter, and review the settings.
  5. (Optional.) In the Value field, enter another data type, if you want to change the deduplication type.
  6. TIP:  The Value field in the Enterprise Parameters view appears as the Current Value field in the Component Parameters and Server Parameters views.

  7. If you change the data type, you must restart the server component for the new settings to take effect.
    1. Navigate to Site Map > Server Administration > Servers.
    2. Click the Server Components view tab.
    3. In the Servers list (upper applet), select the appropriate Siebel Server (if you have more than one in your enterprise).
    4. In the Server Components list (lower applet), select the component of your object manager, and use the Startup and Shutdown buttons to restart the component.
    5. For more information about restarting server components, see Siebel Server Administration Guide.
