The CountryDetermination element specifies how Informatica Address Verification handles the country information in the input address.

Address Verification can identify the country to which an address belongs from the information in your address.

You can specify the input fields that you want Address Verification to consider when it searches for country information. You add the input field names in the SearchInFields property.

You can specify one or more of the following fields on the SearchInFields property:

You can also set a default country that Address Verification can apply to input addresses that do not contain country information. To set a default country, configure the DefaultCountries property in the CountryDetermination element.

If you leave the SearchInFields property empty, Address Verification does not identify the country information from the input address and returns the country that you specified in the DefaultCountries property.
