ProcessMode Parameter

ProcessMode Parameter

ProcessMode
is a required parameter that you must specify in the request. You can specify one of the following values for the
ProcessMode
parameter.
AddressCodeLookup
To enter a country-specific address code and retrieve the complete or partial address for the code, set
ProcessMode
to
ADDRESSCODELOOKUP
.
Informatica Address Verification
considers the AddressCodeLookup transactions as batch transactions. You must have sufficient batch transactions in your account to use the AddressCodeLookup process mode.
You can use the AddressCodeLookup process mode to retrieve addresses from the following countries:
Country
Supported Codes
Austria
AUT_PAC_ID
Germany
DEU_AGS, DEU_LOCALITY_ID, and DEU_STREET_ID
Japan
JPN_CHOUMEI_AZA_CODE and JPN_CHOUMEI_AZA_GAIKU_CODE
Serbia
SRB_PAK
South Africa
ZAF_NADID
South Korea
KOR_ADDRESS_ID
United Kingdom
GBR_UDPRN and GBR_UPRN
Batch
To cleanse large data files with minimal user intervention, set
ProcessMode
to
BATCH
. In batch mode,
Address Verification
corrects addresses but does not return address suggestions for the user to choose from. You can input up to 1000 addresses in a batch mode request. For each of the addresses present in the request,
Address Verification
returns one result in the response. Each of the results contains one
ResultData
element.
Certified
To correct and validate addresses according to the postal certifications of Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, or the United States, set
ProcessMode
to
CERTIFIED
. You can input up to 1000 addresses in a certified mode request. If you also want
Address Verification
to return enrichments that are available in certified mode, specify the certification as the enrichment type in the request. If you enter addresses from countries that
Address Verification
does not support in certified mode,
Address Verification
processes the requests in batch mode.
The following table lists the postal certifications that
Address Verification
supports:

Interactive
To receive address suggestions from which you can choose the best available match for the input address, set
ProcessMode
to
INTERACTIVE
. In the interactive mode you can choose the best possible match from the address suggestions that
Address Verification
returns.
FastCompletion
To receive address suggestions as you enter an address, set
ProcessMode
to
FASTCOMPLETION
. In the fast completion mode, you receive address suggestions with minimum input. For some countries such as the United Kingdom, you need to enter only the postal code and building number to receive a complete address.
For interactive and fast completion modes, specify a single
Address
element in the request. The response contains one
Result
element, but the
ResultDataSet
might contain up to 100
ResultData
elements with the suggestions. The following table lists the process modes and how many elements each array can contain.
