Specifying the Master Index Match Threshold

The match threshold specifies the matching probability weight at which two records will be automatically merged, depending on the value of the OneExactMatch parameter and the number of records at or above the match threshold. You can configure the match threshold by using the Configuration Editor or by modifying the XML file directly.

To Specify the Match Threshold (Configuration Editor)

1. In the Projects window, right-click the Configuration node in the project you want to modify, and then click Edit.

   The Configuration Editor appears.

2. Click the Matching tab.

3. In the Match Threshold field, enter the lowest weight at which two records should be considered a match.

   ---

   Note –

   This value can be any float value higher than the duplicate threshold but lower than the highest possible matching probability weight.

4. On the Configuration Editor toolbar, click Save.

To Specify the Match Threshold (XML Editor)

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

2. Scroll to the MatchThreshold element in the DecisionMakerConfig element.

3. Change the value of the parameter-value element.

   For example:

   <parameter> <parameter-name>MatchThreshold</parameter-name> <parameter-type>java.lang.Float</parameter-type> <parameter-value>28.5</parameter-value> </parameter>

   Note –

   This value can be any float value higher than the duplicate threshold but lower than the highest possible matching probability weight.

4. Save and close the file.
