About Running Data Matching and Data Cleansing in Real-Time Mode

In real-time mode, Siebel Data Quality (SDQ) is invoked when you save a new or modified record. If both data cleansing and data matching are enabled in the same object manager, data cleansing executes first.

• If data cleansing is enabled, a set of fields preconfigured to use data cleansing are standardized before committing the record.

  For more information about standardization, see About Data Matching and Data Cleansing.

• If data matching is enabled and the new record is a potential duplicate, the Possible Matches dialog box appears. If you do not think the record is a duplicate, close the dialog box or click Ignore All, doing so commits the record to the database. Otherwise, if you think the record is a duplicate, select the best-matching record from the dialog box using the Pick button. The duplicate record is removed from the system in one of the following ways:
  • If you are in the process of creating a new record, that record is not saved.
  • If you are in the process of modifying a record, the change is not made to the record.

NOTE:  Only certain fields are configured to support data cleansing and deduplication. If you do not enter values in these fields when you create a new record, or you do not touch the values in these fields when you modify a record, then data cleansing and deduplication are not triggered. For more information about which fields are preconfigured for different business components, see Preconfigured SDQ Universal Connector Properties for Firstlogic Applications and Configuring Siebel Data Quality Matching Server Using SSA.
