Deleting Candidate Fields

Once a field is defined in the SBR candidate field list, you can delete the field if you do not want to include the field in the SBR. If you delete a field from the object definition, make sure to delete the field here as well.

To Delete a Candidate Field

1. In the Projects window, expand the Configuration node in the project you want to modify, and then double-click the Best Record file.

   The file opens in the NetBeans XML editor.

2. Scroll to the candidate-definitions element in the SurvivorHelperConfig element.

3. Delete all text between and including the appropriate candidate-field element.

   Using the example below, to delete the Religion field, delete the boldface text; to delete the Alias object, delete the plain text.

   <candidate-field name="Person.Religion"/> <candidate-field name="Person.Alias[*].*"/> <system-fields> <field-name>LastModified</field-name> </system-fields> <survivor-strategy> <strategy-class>com.stc.eindex.user.MyStrategy </strategy-class> </survivor-strategy> </candidate-field>

   Note –

   Do not delete all candidate fields; at a minimum, the match fields must be defined.

4. Save and close the file.
