Enhanced Support for Descriptors in Canada Addresses (5.13.0)

Informatica Address Verification

introduces the following features and enhancements for Canada:

Support for the GlobalPreferredDescriptor attribute in Canada Addresses: You can configure
Address Verification
to return the short or long form of an element descriptor.

Address Verification can return the short or long form of the following descriptors:

Street descriptors

Directional values

Building descriptors

Sub-building descriptors

To specify the output format for the descriptors, configure the
GlobalPreferredDescriptor
attribute. The
GlobalPreferredDescriptor
attribute applies to English-language and French-language descriptors.

You can set the attribute to LONG, SHORT, DATABASE, or PRESERVE_INPUT. If you select DATABASE,
Address Verification
returns the descriptor in the format that the reference data specifies. DATABASE is the default option. If you select PRESERVE_INPUT, the
PreferredLanguage
attribute takes precedence over the
GlobalPreferredDescriptor
attribute.
Support for CH and CHAMBER as Sub-Building Descriptors: Address Verification
recognizes CH and CHAMBER as sub-building descriptors in Canada addresses.
