Output ports that describe the result of an address validation process on an address in Canada or in France.

The Address Validator transformation contains a Category port in the Canada Specific port group and the Canada Specific port group. Select the correct port for addresses in France and in Canada.

If you submit address records to Canada Post for Software Evaluation And Recognition Program (SERP) certification, you must provide the category code for each address. If you submit address records to La Poste for National Address Management Service (SNA) certification, you must provide the category code for each address. When you select the Category port, configure the Address Validator transformation to run in Certified mode.

Category Usage
