This section summarizes the new features and significant product changes for Oracle Enterprise Data Quality Customer Data Services Pack (EDQ-CDS) in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 12c (12.2.1) release.
Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 12c (12.2.1) contains the following new and changed features for EDQ-CDS:
This feature deprecates the existing CDS cluster level mechanism with a more granular and flexible mechanism based on key profiles which specify the enablement of key methods. This feature extends EDQ-CDS to offer a wider menu of key method algorithms.
For more information, see:
Key method analysis introduces the capability within CDS to automatically analyze the customer's data and determine the best key profile for that particular data set.
For more information, see Key Method Analysis.
The output of match metadata provides granular details about why two records matched, and which logical match identifiers contributed to a match.
For more information, see Output of Match Metadata.
Matching with customer-added string and date attributes improves how you can configure EDQ and reduces the need to customize the EDQ-CDS configuration for attributes not present on the standard interface
For more information, see:
Inverted ID matching provides similar functionality to Elimination Ids (EIDs) but produces a "No match" result when the identifier values are the same. Inverted ID matching allows you to eliminate matches where records share a common value.
For more information, see Using Inverted Elimination ID Matching.
For individuals and entities, all previous static rules (other than UID and elimination rules) have been deleted and replaced by a single 'Overall score' rule which takes the aggregate score from various new compound comparisons with their associated weightings. The original base comparisons are still used as the basis for the compound comparison rule fragments.
The new compound comparisons together with their default weightings are listed for information purposes in the new 'Match - Compound Comparison Default Weightings' reference data inside the EDQ-CDS project.
