Configuring the Element Descriptor Format

You can configure the

ElementAbbreviation

and

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

attributes to specify how

Informatica Address Verification

handles elements in general and element descriptors in particular in different countries. Find the attributes in the

Result

element of the

Parameters.xml

file.

To use standard abbreviations for all address elements, set the

ElementAbbreviation

attribute of the

Result

element to ON.

If the reference address database contains abbreviations for the elements, Address Verification uses the abbreviations instead of the expanded forms in the address output.

To specify the element descriptor format for addresses in Australia and New Zealand, you can optionally set the

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

attribute to one of the following values:

DATABASE. Returns the descriptors in the default format from the reference data.

LONG. Returns the long form of the descriptors.

SHORT. Returns the short form of the descriptors.

PRESERVE_INPUT. Returns the descriptors in the format that the input address specifies.

The

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

setting also applies to the Strasse
element in Germany addresses.

If you set

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

to a value other than DATABASE, the

GlobalPreferredDescriptor

setting takes precedence over the

ElementAbbreviation

setting for descriptors in the relevant countries.
