Syntax

int sdq_get_duplicates (int session_id, SSchar* xmlResultSet)

Parameters

session_id: The session ID obtained by initializing the session.

xmlRecordSet: An XML character string that the vendor library populates with a master record and a list of its duplicate records along with their match scores.

If the number of duplicates is more than the value of the parameter BATCH_MATCH_MAX_NUM_OF_RECORDS, the results can be split across multiple function calls with each function call including the master record as well. The XML is in the following format:

<Data>
<ParentRecord>
<DQ.MasterRecordsRowID>2-24-E</DQ.MasterRecordsRowID>
<DuplicateRecord>
<Account.Id>2-24-E</Account.Id>
<DQ.MatchScore>92</DQ.MatchScore>
</DuplicateRecord>

<DuplicateRecord>
<Account.Id>2-23-F</Account.Id>
<DQ.MatchScore>88</DQ.MatchScore>
</DuplicateRecord>
</ParentRecord>
</Data>

Return Value

A return value of 0 indicates successful execution, while a return value of 1 indicates that there are no duplicate records left. Any other value is a vendor error code.

The error message details from the vendor are obtained by calling the sdq_get_error_message function.

NOTE:  Data quality code only processes the returned XML character string while the return value is 0. Even if there are fewer records to return than the value of the BATCH_MATCH_MAX_NUM_OF_RECORDS parameter, the vendor driver sends a return value of 0 and then return a value of 1 in the next call.
