Sun Match Engine Match Configuration for Person Data

The default match configuration file, matchConfigFile.cfg, defines several match types for the kinds of data typically included in a person master index application. You can customize the existing match types or create new match types for the data being processed. The following match types are typical for matching on person data.

This file appears under the Match Engine node of the master index project. For more information about the comparison functions used for each match type and how the weights are tuned, see Customizing the Match Configuration and Match Configuration Comparison Functions for Sun Match Engine (Repository).
