Configuring Business Components for Data Matching and Data Cleansing

This topic describes how to configure business components, whether existing ones or new ones you create, for data matching and data cleansing.

Typically, you configure existing business components; however, you can create your own business components to associate with connector definitions. For information about how to create new business components and define user properties for those components, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

To configure business components for data matching and data cleansing, you must:

1. Associate the business component with a connector.
   This includes configuring the following user properties:

   User Property	Value
   For data matching
   DeDuplication Connector - vendor_name	Vendor_Deduplication_key
   Vendor_Deduplication_key Type	Business_component_name (Applicable to Universal Connector only)
   Dedup Token Expression	Consult the vendor for the value of this field. (Applicable to Universal Connector only)
   Dedup Query Expression	Consult the vendor for the value of this field. (Applicable to Universal Connector only)
   For data cleansing
   DataCleansing Connector - vendor_name	Vendor_DataCleansing_key
   Vendor_DataCleansing_key Type	Business_component_name (Applicable to Universal Connector only)

2. Configure the field mappings.

   This includes configuring the following user properties

   • Data matching. Vendor_Deduplication_key DeDuplication Field n
   • Data cleansing. Vendor_DataCleansing_key DataCleansing Field n
3. Create a DeDuplication Results business component and add it to the Deduplication business object.
4. Configure an applet as the DeDuplication Results List Applet.
5. Configure Duplicate views and add them to the Administration - Data Quality screen.
6. Add a field called Merge Sequence Number to the business component and a user property called Merge Sequence Number Field.

NOTE:  You must base new business components you create only on the CSSBCBase class to support data cleansing and data matching.
