Configuring Data Matching and Data Cleansing Settings at the Enterprise Level

Use the following task to configure data matching and data cleansing settings at the enterprise level.

To configure data matching and data cleansing settings at the enterprise level

1. Log in to the Siebel application with administrator responsibilities.

2. Navigate to the Administration - Server Configuration screen, then Enterprises view.

3. Click the Parameters view tab.

4. In the Parameter field in the Enterprise Parameters list, query and review the settings for each of the following parameters:

   • DeDuplication Data Type

   • Data Cleansing Type

   The Value field can be set as follows:

   • CHANGE_ME. Indicates that you chose None when you installed the Siebel Server.

   • name of third-party server. Indicates the name of the third-party server that is being used for data matching and (or) data cleansing.

     For example:

     • ISS. Indicates that Oracle Data Quality Matching Server is used for data matching.

     • ASM. Indicates that Oracle Data Quality Address Validation Server is used for data cleansing.

   If necessary, enter any corrections in the Value field.

   The value you choose for Data Cleansing Type can differ from the value you choose for DeDuplication Data Type, provided that you have the appropriate vendor software available.

   Note: The values set in the Value field in the Enterprise Parameters list also appear in the Value fields for the corresponding parameters in the Component Parameters and Server Parameters views.

5. If you change an enterprise parameter in Step 4 (or if you change any value of a server component such as Data Quality Manager), restart the server component so that the new settings take effect.

   For more information about restarting server components, see Siebel System Administration Guide.
