Merge Rules for HTNG

Note: The following topic only provides a overview of merge rules as they relate to HTNG. For a detailed explanation of configuring merge rules, refer to the main Opera help.

In PMS, merge rules determine the final merge once a profile has passed the internal match criteria (OXI_PROFILE parameters), and the region configuration check. You can configure merge rules at the Merge Rules screen. Access the Merge Rules screen by selecting PMS>Configuration>Profile>External Interface>Merge Rules.

Once the internal entry match was successful, the system will continue matching on the defined weighing points. The configuration of merge rules and weighing points is based on the configured regions in PMS, each profile type can be configured separately in the merge rules.

You have to consider the best possible approach for distributing weighing points to the merge rules, as these may differ by profile type, geographical location of the property, data accuracy sent by external system, etc.

If the total calculated weighing points on the external system profile are less than the LOWER THRESHOLD, the profile will be created as new in the database.
