EUID Assignment

When all blocks are matched, the master Bulk Matcher merges the match files from all the other matchers into one master match file. The master Bulk Matcher then assigns an EUID to the system records, assigning any records that are linked as matches the same EUID. Once system records are assigned an EUID, they are distributed to EUID files. Any system records with the same EUID are stored in the same file. Once EUID assignment is complete, the cluster synchronizer indicates that the next phase, generating the master data images, can begin.
