About Siebel Data Quality Universal Connector
The Siebel Data Quality Universal Connector provides a connector to third-party software that allows the Siebel application to use the capabilities of an external application for data matching and data cleansing. The matching, cleansing, and standardization capabilities of Siebel Data Quality Universal Connector are driven by the capabilities and configuration options of the third-party software. Using the connector, you can match and cleanse customer data within the Siebel transactional database in real-time or batch mode.
The Siebel Data Quality Universal Connector works only in conjunction with third-party software from data quality vendors who are certified by Siebel Systems' Technical Alliances program. For information about third-party solutions, see the Alliances section at http://www.siebel.com. For detailed information about products that work with this connector, see Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf or the Partners section at http://www.siebel.com.
Siebel customers who choose to use Siebel Data Quality Universal Connector must license additional software separately from third-party companies to make the connector solution functional. For information about which versions of software are validated by Siebel Systems for use with the Siebel Data Quality Universal Connector, see the System Requirements and Supported Platforms documentation for your Siebel eBusiness Applications. These documents are usually posted on Siebel SupportWeb (http://ebusiness.siebel.com/supportweb/). For data cleansing software installation instructions, see the documentation provided by the data cleansing vendor.
Data cleansing functionality is provided only by the Siebel Data Quality Universal Connector; it is not provided by the Siebel Data Quality Matching Server. The Siebel Data Quality Universal Connector can support real-time and batch-mode processing.
- In real-time mode, data is modified when a user tries to save a new or modified record back to the database. For more information about real-time mode, see Real-Time Mode.
- In batch mode, the data set considered is identified by the administrator and can be the entire database or, by setting search criteria, can be a specific set of records. For more information about batch mode, see Batch Mode.
