The topics listed here provide conceptual information about the Master Index Match Engine and how it matches data in a master index application. The Master Index Match Engine is designed to work closely with the Master Index Standardization Engine. For more information about the standardization engine, see Oracle Java CAPS Master Index Standardization Engine Reference.
Note that Java CAPS includes two versions of Oracle Java CAPS Master Index. Oracle Java CAPS Master Index (Repository) is installed in the Java CAPS repository and provides all the functionality of previous versions in the new Java CAPS environment. Oracle Java CAPS Master Index is a service-enabled version of the master index that is installed directly into NetBeans. It includes all of the features of Oracle Java CAPS Master Index (Repository) plus several new features, like data analysis, data cleansing, data loading, and an improved Data Manager GUI. Both products are components of the Java CAPS Master Data Management (MDM) Suite. This document relates to Oracle Java CAPS Master Index only.
