About Defining Match Process Properties

Properties of a match process include the ID, name, and data sources.

Specify the following when defining match process properties:

• Match process ID

  The ID must always be unique within the match type.

• Match process name

  The ID and Name identify the match process in various places, so that you know which set of matching rules were used to produce a given set of matches.

• Data Sources

  The number of data sources determines how many data sources are included in the match process. Then you specify the data sources that represent the source system and subsystem.

  For example, if three data sources are defined in a match process, and Match Process 1 uses two data sources and Match Process 2 uses one data source, then you select the name of the data sources to assign to Source System and Sub System. Then you select the format and the list of available formats is dependent on the number of data sources assigned to the match process.

• Adjustment Accounting Date
• Default attribute mapping
• Bucket attribute mapping

See Specifying the Properties of the Match Process.

Group Attributes in Default Attribute Mapping

When you use group attributes in the default attribute mapping, note the following:

• Key member attributes of type Integer or Text cannot be used in a mapping.
• Key member attributes can only be used in exact matches and cannot use tolerance.
