Informatica Address Verification
introduces the following features and enhancements for Japan:
Choumei Aza Code Enrichment
Effective in
5.11.0
,
Informatica Address Verification
can return a CURRENT_CHOUMEI_AZA_CODE enrichment for Japan addresses in addition to the CHOUMEI_AZA_CODE and NEW_CHOUMEI_AZA_CODE enrichments. The CURRENT_CHOUMEI_AZA_CODE represents the current version of an address.
Address Verification adds the CURRENT_CHOUMEI_AZA_CODE to the output address when you select the Japan enrichments and you verify the address in batch or interactive mode. You can then submit the code in address code lookup mode to retrieve the current version of the address.
Previously, you used the NEW_CHOUMEI_AZA_CODE to retrieve a code that represented any updated version of an address. You then submitted the code in address code lookup mode to return the updated address. Because a Japan address can have multiple versions, you previously needed to perform the steps multiple times to confirm the latest address version.
The Choumei Aza code enrichments have the following meanings:
CHOUMEI_AZA_CODE
The code that corresponds directly to the validated version of the address that you submit.
NEW_CHOUMEI_AZA_CODE
The code that corresponds to the next iteration of the input address that you submit. For example, if you enter the first or oldest version of the address, the NEW_CHOUMEI_AZA_CODE value that Address Verification returns represents the second version of the address.
CURRENT_CHOUMEI_AZA_CODE
The code that corresponds to the current version of the address that you submit.
Updates to Transliteration of Japan Address Data
Effective in version
5.11.0
,
Address Verification
transliterates Japan address data from the Kana character set.
Previously,
Address Verification
transliterated Japan address data from the Kanji character set.
Updates to Element Result Status Calculations
Effective in version
5.11.0
,
Address Verification
changes the manner in which it calculates the element result status values for a Japan address when you set the
ElementAbbreviation
attribute to ON.
When you set
ElementAbbreviation
to ON for Japan addresses,
Address Verification
can combine Street 1, Street 2, and House Number values in a single field.
Address Verification
can return an element result status for each value in the appropriate position in the status code, although the field that the position represents might not contain any data in the output address.
Updates to Mailability Score Calculations
Effective in version
5.11.0
,
Address Verification
changes the manner in which it calculates the mailability score for a Japan address.
Address Verification
returns a mailability score of 3 when the following conditions are true:
  • The address contains Chome, Ban, and Go information but the reference database cannot verify the information.
  • The address has a process status value of C2 or better.
Address Verification
copies the unverified Chome, Ban, and Go information to the output address.
Address Verification
returns a mailability score of 2 for other process status codes.
Previously, an address that contained Chome, Ban, and Go information that was not present in the reference data returned a mailability score of 2.
The mailability score is a general indicator of the likely deliverability of an address. Do not define validation logic around mailability score values. Use the process status values and the element result status values to determine the validity or deliverability of an address.
