master.xml

In master.xml, you configure the Manager Service and define properties of the match process. You specify the match and duplicate thresholds in this file, and define certain system parameters, such as the update mode, how to process records above the match threshold, how to manage same system matches, and whether merged records can be updated. This file also specifies which of the queries defined in the Query Builder to use for matching queries.

This file also configures the EUIDs assigned by the master index application. You can specify an EUID length, whether a checksum value is used for additional verification, and a “chunk size”. Specifying a chunk size allows the EUID generator to obtain a block of EUIDs from the sbyn_seq_table database table so it does not need to query the table each time it generates a new EUID.
