Maintaining Sun Master Indexes (Repository)

Potential Duplicate Report

This report displays information about records that were marked as potential duplicates of one another during the specified time period. The information provided on this report can help you determine whether the matching (or upper) threshold and the duplicate threshold are configured accurately. The information for each record on the potential duplicate report always includes the EUIDs of both records, the system code, and the matching weight between each potential duplicate pair. You can configure the report to include any additional fields from the defined object structure in the Object Definition file in the master index project.

If same system matching is not enabled and two duplicate records from the same system on this report have a matching weight above the match threshold, it is an indication that the records most likely represent the same person. Review the potential duplicate report daily to determine if two records need to be merged or if they can be resolved. Use this report as a work list when working with potential duplicates.
