Informatica Address Verification

supports up to three building levels for Hong Kong addresses.

The batch, interactive, and fast completion databases contain all three levels of building information for Hong Kong addresses, and Address Verification validates all three levels of building information.

For example, the following input address contains three levels of building information:

The following table shows how the input building data maps to elements in Address Verification:

If Address Verification finds a match in the reference data for a valid address that omits a building-level element, Address Verification can return the missing element in the output address.

You can validate the sub-building information in a Hong Kong address.

Address Verification

can read and validate the sub-building information in Chinese and in English.

If the input address does not contain sub-building information, Address Verification returns valid sub-building suggestions for the building when you verify the address in interactive mode.

Address Verification

also returns the appropriate status code for the sub-building data in a Hong Kong address.

You can configure

Address Verification

reads the address in Hanzi and returns the address suggestions in Hanzi.
