About Disabling Deduplication Without Restarting the Siebel Server

The Disable DeDuplication settings specified in the Administration - Data Quality screen override those specified in the Administration - Server Configuration screen. If you enabled the deduplication from the Administration - Server Configuration screen, you can disable deduplication from the Data Quality Settings view without restarting the Siebel Server. After you disable deduplication, log out and then log in to the application again for the new settings to take effect. The settings apply to all the object managers in your Siebel Server, whether or not they have been enabled in the Administration - Server Configuration screen. When you are ready to enable deduplication again, reset the Disable DeDuplication field to No, and then log in again.

NOTE:  Only specific fields are configured to support data cleansing and deduplication. If you do not enter values in the Disable Data Cleansing and Disable DeDuplication 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.

For more information, see Applying Siebel Data Quality Settings. In particular, the Disable DeDuplication settings described in that topic are useful for disabling the real-time data quality functionality temporarily or for a certain user, assuming you have enabled it for that object manager.
