Description

Deduplication on address update.

See Data Matching.

When the primary address data of an account, contact, or prospect record is updated, the match keys are regenerated as follows:

  • Keys are regenerated for an account only when a primary address is selected for the account, or the primary address is changed for the account.
  • If an account already has an address and the user modifies part of the address record (for example, city), then the keys are not regenerated.

Previously match keys were not updated, and no deduplication was triggered.

Multiple key query support.

See Match Key Generation with the Universal Connector.

For the Universal Connector, multiple keys are now generated for a single record. Previously only one match key was generated for each record.

Data quality rules.

See Data Quality Rules and Creating a Data Quality Rule.

The Administration - Data Quality screen, Rules view allows the administrator to set up rules for each data quality operation.

The data quality rules specify the parameters used when a data quality operation is performed in real-time or in batch mode.

Third-party software vendor administration.

See Configuring Vendor Parameters, Examples of Parameter and Field Mapping Values for Universal Connector, and Preconfigured Parameter and Field Mapping Values for SDQ Matching Server.

The information about data quality vendors is now administered in the Administration - Data Quality screen, Third Party Administration view rather than by using Siebel Tools. You can therefore make configuration changes without having to recompile the Siebel repository.

Vendor-specific parameters are configured in the Vendor Parameter view. Vendor field mappings are configured in a BC Vendor Field Mapping view for each business component for which data cleansing or data matching is supported.

Additional Changes

Version 8.0 also contains the following changes:

  • The tables of preconfigured parameters for the SDQ Matching Server now contain descriptions of each parameter; see Preconfigured Vendor Parameters for SSA.
  • Changes to improve the organization of the information.
