Modifying Sun Match Engine Business Name Configuration Files

To customize the Sun Match Engine configuration files for processing business names, you can modify any of the business name standardization files using the text editor provided in NetBeans. Before modifying the match configuration file, review the information provided in Sun Match Engine Matching Configuration and Match Configuration Comparison Functions for Sun Match Engine (Repository). Make sure a thorough data analysis has been performed to determine the best fields for matching, and the best comparison functions to use for each field.

Updating most standardization files is a straightforward process. Make sure to follow the syntax guidelines provided in Sun Match Engine Standardization Configuration for Business Names. If you add rows to any standardization files, make sure to modify the corresponding parameter in the business constants file (bizConstants.cfg). Before making any changes to the patterns file, make sure you understand the tokens used to represent business name field components.
