3.1 Private List Interface (PLI) file formats

Private Watch List data must be supplied in two data files, privateindividuals.csv and privateentities.csv. On installation, these files are populated with sample private watch list data, which should be replaced with your own data, once it has been transformed into the required format.

Note:

1. It is recommended that you keep a copy of the sample private watch list files, as they can be used to verify correct functioning of your installation on a known data set.
2. The files must be saved in UTF-8 format.

This section lists PLI fields. The PLI for individuals is detailed in section Individual private watch list input attributes and the PLI for entity screening in section Entity private watch list input attributes. In both cases, attributes fall into one of three classes:

Mandatory attributes are absolutely required for screening. They are tagged in the PLI tables with the [Mandatory attribute] tag.

Recommended attributes are typically used in matching to either eliminate false positive matches which would occur if the mandatory fields alone were used, or to reinforce the likelihood of a possible match. They are tagged in the PLI tables with the [Recommended attribute] tag.

Optional attributes are not used in the Oracle Financial Services Customer Screening match processes. Information provided in these fields may be of use in processes downstream of the match process.
