Matching Configuration

The MatchingConfig section of the Match Field file allows you to define the data fields that are sent to the match engine (called the match string). Probabilistic weighting is performed only against the fields you specify as the match columns. You can specify any field in the object structure as a match column as long as the is configured to use all fields specified. You must specify at least one match field.

The configuration of this section of the Match Field file is specific to the you are using and the types of fields on which you are matching. For more information about how the matching should be configured for the Sun Match Engine, see Understanding the Sun Match Engine.
