Applying Siebel Data Quality Settings
You can set or change the Siebel Data Quality options for both the Siebel Data Quality Matching Server and the Siebel Data Quality Universal Connector. Use the following procedure to view, set, or change the Data Quality Settings in the Data Administration screen. You can use the same procedure for both real-time and batch processing.
NOTE: Data Quality Settings can also be specified at the user level in the User Preferences Data Quality view. The settings in user preferences override those set in the data administration views. For more information, see Applying User Preference Data Quality Settings.
To apply Siebel Data Quality options for data matching in the Data Administration screen
- From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Data Administration > Data Quality Settings.
- Add new records for each parameter listed in Table 9 and set the value for each parameter appropriately for your installation.
NOTE: By default, the list applet is empty after installation.
- After making these changes, you must log out of the application and log back in for the changes to take effect.
Table 9 describes the Siebel Data Quality Settings parameters.

Description

Disable
DataCleansing
|
Yes
No

|
Disable
DeDuplication
|
Yes
No
|
Disables data cleansing for real-time mode only.

Note: The Disable DeDuplication settings specified in the Data Administration screen turn off the features even if you enable them using the Server Administration screen.
|
Key Type
|
Standard
Limited
|
Applicable only for the Siebel Data Quality Matching Server.
Match keys are generated by applying an algorithm to the name fields, which translates each of the names and words into a set of keys that can be compared for similarity by the matching server. The Siebel Data Quality Matching Server generates multiple keys for each existing customer record. The number of keys generated depends on the settings for key type that you select. If you select the narrower key type (Limited), then the key generation algorithm performs only the most common permutations and generates fewer keys. If you select the wider key type (Standard), the key generation algorithm performs a wider set of permutations to provide the most exhaustive range of keys.
|
Match
Threshold
|
0-100
|
Applicable only for the Siebel Data Quality Matching Server.
Any records with a match score above this threshold is considered a match. Higher scores indicate closer matches (perfect match = 100).
Note: If you change the Match Threshold value, you must stop and restart the Siebel Server Service for the change to take effect. For more information about stopping and starting the Siebel Server Service, see Siebel Server Administration Guide.
|
Search Type
|
Narrow
Typical
Exhaustive
|
Applicable only for the Siebel Data Quality Matching Server.
This setting indicates whether the match algorithm should use a narrow set of matching rules or a more exhaustive set of rules. A more exhaustive set of rules looks for additional data permutations, but typically takes more time to process.
