The RangesToExpand and FlexibleRangeExpansion Attributes

The RangesToExpand and FlexibleRangeExpansion Attributes

You can configure the
RangesToExpand
attribute to specify whether to expand house number ranges in address suggestions from countries for which individual house numbers are available in the reference data. You can configure the
FlexibleRangeExpansion
attribute to specify the scope of range expansion in suggestion lists. If you set the
FlexibleRangeExpansion
attribute to ON, Informatica Address Verification might expand only the initial items in the suggestion list. Address Verification retains the items at the end of the list as ranges if the number of items exceeds the maximum result count.
The attributes apply in fast completion and interactive modes. Find both attributes in the
Result
element in
Parameters.xml
.
If you set the
RangesToExpand
attribute to ALL, Address Verification expands the house number ranges whenever individual house numbers are available. If you set
RangesToExpand
to ONLY_WITH_VALID_ITEMS, Address Verification expands the ranges only if the reference data contains the complete list of house numbers within the specified range. You can turn off the range expansion by setting the
RangesToExpand
attribute to NONE. The default value is NONE. When the complete list of house numbers is not available in the reference address database, the ONLY_WITH_VALID_ITEMS setting works the same way as NONE.
You can use the
RangesToExpand
attribute in conjunction with the
FlexibleRangeExpansion
attribute to achieve the optimum results. If you set
FlexibleRangeExpansion
to ON, Address Verification expands the initial items in a list. Address Verification internal logic decides the number of results to expand and how many to keep as ranges without exceeding the
MaxResultCount
value. Therefore, when you set
FlexibleRangeExpansion
to ON, the suggestion list might contain both expanded and unexpanded ranges for house numbers and buildings. The number of results and the nature of the suggestion list depend on the values you specify for
MaxResultCount
,
RangesToExpand
, and
FlexibleRangeExpansion
.
Address Verification ignores the
FlexibleRangeExpansion
attribute when the
RangesToExpand
attribute value is NONE.
