Setting the Deduplication Data Type for Data Matching

For you to enable data matching, the Deduplication Data Type parameter must be set for the enterprise. You can choose to use the Siebel Data Quality (SDQ) Matching Server or the Siebel Data Quality (SDQ) Universal Connector as your match solution at the time of your Siebel Server installation. The applicable setting for the DeDuplication Data Type parameter is automatically set during install. However, you can also review or change that setting through the Siebel Server Manager. Use the following procedure to review or change the Deduplication Data Type parameter setting at the enterprise level.

This task is a step in Process of Using Data Matching (Deduplication).

To review or change the Deduplication Data Type setting for the enterprise

1. Log in to the Siebel application with administrator responsibilities.
2. From the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Server Configuration > Enterprises.
3. Click the Parameters view tab.
4. In the Parameter field in the Enterprise Parameters list, query for the DeDuplication Data Type parameter, and review the settings.
   • CHANGE_ME appears in the Default Value field if you chose None when you installed the Siebel Server.
   • SSA appears in the Default Value field if you chose Siebel Data Quality Matching when you installed the Siebel Server.
   • Vendor1 appears in the Default Value field if you chose Data Quality Connector when you installed the Siebel Server.
5. (Optional) If you want to change the deduplication type, in the Value field, enter another data type.

   TIP:   The Value field in the Enterprise Parameters list appears as the Current Value field in the Component Parameters and Server Parameters views.

6. If you changed the data type in Step 5, you must restart the server component for the new settings to take effect.
   1. From the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Server Management > Servers.
   2. Click the Components Groups view tab (if not already active).
   3. In the Servers list (upper applet), select the appropriate Siebel Server (if you have more than one in your enterprise).
   4. In the Components Groups list (middle applet), select the component of your object manager, and use the Startup and Shutdown buttons to restart the component.
