Matching Rule Modification

The administrator uses Siebel Tools to specify the input fields for the embedded matching libraries in the business component user properties for the Account, Contact, and List Mgmt Prospective Contact business components. The input field values are indicated by a lettering nomenclature where different letters indicate standard input types for personal name, company name, address fields, and ID data.

For example, Z indicates postal or ZIP code while I indicates a general unique identifier such as the D-U-N-S number for accounts or social security number for contacts. The field mappings for the business component can be configured to include few fields or modified to map to different fields. For more information, see Configuring Siebel Data Quality Matching Server Using SSA as well as the third-party documentation for SSA-NAME3 on Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf CD-ROM.

The rules that control the parsing and weighting criteria that contribute to the match score are precompiled and cannot be modified with the standard Data Quality Matching Server module. Administrative tools are available for custom configuration, but must be licensed separately from Search Software America. If your company requires tailored matching rules, please contact Siebel Technical Support or Siebel Global Services and ask that they connect you with a representative from Search Software America.
