This chapter introduces the Address Correction utility. The Address Correction utility is a part of Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution (MSS) Utilities. This chapter provides an overview of the utility and instructions about setting up and running the utility.
In MSS, inconsistencies related to end user locations (EUL) may exist that can cause the following issues:
You view multiple end user locations that have the same address.
You view multiple active addresses of the same address structured format at the same end user location.
You view an end user location (L1) that has an address in MSAG structured format and another end user location (L2) has that same address in OBF structured format.
You receive inaccurate information when you run a report that prevents you from:
Viewing all the services on a particular end user location
Analyzing the feasibility of providing a new service
You use the Address Correction utility to resolve inconsistencies related to end user locations, which in turn provides usability and reporting capabilities.
The Address Correction utility enables you to resolve inconsistencies related to end user locations in the following scenarios:
Multiple end user locations having the same address. See "Resolving Multiple EULs Having the Same Address" for more information.
Multiple active addresses of same address format at the same end user location. See "Resolving Multiple Active Addresses of the Same Address Format per EUL" for more information.
Multiple end user locations having the same address components in MSAG and OBF structured formats. See "Resolving Multiple EULs with the Same Address in MSAG and OBF Structured Formats" for more information.
