Match Service

When you click the Search or Selective Search buttons on the Integrated Search Criteria page, the system conducts an Internal Search/Match, External Search/Match, or both. External Search/Match sends a Match Request to the external system. This is an XML message that contains all of the fields included in the search request. The external system returns a Match Response, also an XML message.

The Match Request XML message (SCC_SM_SERVICE_REQ.V1) to the external system exposes all information that the system has:

• All of the search order numbers that can potentially return matching candidates.

• Search fields.

• Search data.

• Search/Match configuration information.

The Match Response XML message (SCC_SM_SERVICE_RESP.V1) from the external system contains:

• Search order number/rule that found results.

• Matching candidates.

• Score.

• Universal ID/cross reference.

• Person data.

• External Employee ID when importing EmplIDs from external spoke system.
