Input Data

Output port that contains the data elements in an input address record in a structured XML format.

The Input Data port identifies the address elements that the Address Verification software library associates with the input ports that you select on the transformation. When the address validation mapping runs, the Address Validator transformation passes the input port data to the Address Verification software library. The software library analyzes each data value as a tagged element in an XML structure.

Input Data Usage

To view the address elements in an input address in a structured XML format, select the Input Data port.

If address validation does not generate the results that you expect, use the Input Data port output to verify the structure of the input address. For example, the Status Info ports might indicate that an address is undeliverable because of problems in one or more address elements. Review the XML output to identify the input ports that contain the address elements and to verify that you selected the correct port for each element.

You can use the output from the Result port to troubleshoot the structure of the output address. The Result port writes the data elements in an output address in a structured XML format.

Port Locations

The following table provides the location and default precision of the Input Data port:

Port Type	Port Group	Template Model	Precision
Output	XML	Advanced	2000

Input Data Example

The following address contains data that you can assign to input ports on the Address Validator transformation:

The following XML fragment shows the XML output on the Input Data port:
