Test a deduplicate asset to verify that the data flows through the asset in the ways that you expect.
Open the deduplicate asset.
Select the
Deduplication
tab.
Select a Secure Agent to run the test.
To refresh the list of active Secure Agents, click the
Refresh
icon.
Enter data values in the test panel, or import the data to test. To import the data, click the
Import
option in the test panel.
Consider the following guidelines before you add or import data to the test panel:
Configure the asset as completely as you can before you enter or import the test data. The asset may discard your test data if you make further changes to the configuration.
Verify that the test data structure matches the column structure in the test panel. Provide test data for each mandatory field in the test panel. If the test panel includes any required fields, provide test data for at least one required field.
If the objective accepts a date value, you can use the calendar and clock options to add a date and time to an input row. The calendar and clock options are synchronized. You can update the date or time after you add either value.
Optionally, save the asset to preserve the current test data and configuration.

.
You can sort, search, and filter the test results in the following ways:
Click the Up and Down arrows to select a field on which to sort the test data. To reverse the sort order, select the field a second time. open a menu of the sorting categories. The categories reflect the configuration of the asset. The test results refresh to show the values for the category that you choose.
Click the Filter icon to add a filter option to the test panel. Select a field on which to filter the data, and add a data filter for the field. The test results refresh to show any row that contains the filter value in the field that you specify.
You can also enter a value in the Find field to search the test results.
The sort, search, and filter options work together. For example, if you apply a filter to the test data and you enter a value in the Find field, the asset displays any row that meets both the filter and search criteria.
Verify that the deduplication process analyzes the test data in the manner that you expect.
Optionally, select the
Consolidation
tab.
Use the options on the tab to verify that the consolidation process generates preferred records in the manner that you expect.
The test panel on the
Consolidation
tab contains the results of any test that you ran on the
Deduplication
tab.
If you add one or more fields to the Consolidation tab, bear in mind that several field names are reserved on the deduplicate asset. To read the list of reserved field names, see
Configuring the consolidation process.
Click
Test
, and review the results of the test. You can test the consolidation options in row-based mode and field-based mode.
