Profile Match & Merge (PMS)
Users at the property level in PMS can match and merge profiles in their database that are 10 days or older from when they were entered/updated, in batch process, using Profile Match & Merge. This feature is similar to the Background Processor Profile Automerge process in ORS, but is only available in PMS if the OPR<version number>ORS license code is not active. Likewise, this feature is not available in ORS as the Background Processor is used for profile merging instead. The Profile Match & Merge (PMS) feature is accessible in PMS by selecting Utilities>Processors>Profile Match Merge.
Prior to running the Profile Match & Merge process, the auto merge rule (criteria for matching and merging profiles) must be set up in Application Settings>Profiles>Auto Merge Rule:
At the Profile Match & Merge Status screen you can start the match and merge process, view the status of the job, and stop the process if necessary. Only one merge process is run at a time.
Columns are populated once the Start button has been selected.
Note: The OPERA synonym schema OIW is used by OPERA v5.0.05.00+ when accessing Utilities>Processors and when Starting and Stopping the selected processor. Certain other compatible OPERA products, such as OPERA 9, use the OPERA synonym schema OIW to Start and Stop the processor independent of OPERA v5.0.05.00+.
