GlobalPreferredDescriptor

You can configure the

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

element to specify the output format for descriptors in several countries. Use

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

to set English-language street, building, and subbuilding descriptors in Australia, New Zealand, and United States addresses. Use

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

to specify English-language street and building descriptors in Ireland addresses. The element also applies to the Strasse element descriptor in Germany addresses.

Set one of the following values for

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

DATABASE
. Returns the element descriptor that the reference database specifies for the address. If the database does not specify a descriptor for the address,

Informatica Address Verification

copies the input value to the output address. DATABASE is the default value.

LONG
. Returns the expanded form of the element descriptor in the input address.

SHORT
. Returns the abbreviated form of the element descriptor in the input address.

PRESERVE_INPUT
. Copies the element descriptor from the input address to the output address.

If the input element descriptor is not an official synonym,

Informatica Address Verification

returns the corresponding value from the reference database. For example, when you validate an Australia address that contains BD for boulevard,

Informatica Address Verification

corrects the descriptor to BVD. BVD is the standard short term for boulevard in Australia.

The following SOAP request includes a

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

of PRESERVE_INPUT:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:v1="http://validator5.AddressDoctor.com/Webservice5/v3">
	<soapenv:Header/>
	<soapenv:Body>

				</Address>
			</addresses>
		</Process>
	</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

In the following response, Address Verification replaces BD with BVD, which is the standard short form for boulevard in Australia addresses:
