This section describes the changes to the Address Validator transformation.
The Address Validator transformation contains the following updates to address functionality:
All Countries
Effective in version
10.4
, the Address Validator transformation uses version
5.15.0
of the Informatica Address Verification software engine.
Previously, the transformation used version
5.14.0
of the Informatica Address Verification software engine.
Effective in version
10.4
, the Address Validator transformation retains province information in an output address when the reference data does not contain province information for the country. If the output address is valid without the province data, Address Verification returns a V2 match score to indicate that the input address is correct but that the reference database does not contain every element in the address.
Previously, if the address reference data did not contain province information for the country, Address Verification moved the province information to the Residue field and returned a Cx score.
Spain
Effective in version
10.4
, the Address Validator transformation returns an Ix status for a Spain address that requires significant correction to yield a match in the reference data.
Previously, Address Verification might correct an address that required significant changes and return an overly optimistic match score for the address.
United States
Effective in version
10.4
, the Address Validator transformation can validate a United States address when organization information precedes street information on a delivery address line. The types of organization that the transformation recognizes include universities, hospitals, and corporate offices. Address Verification recognizes the organization information when the parsing operation also finds a house number and street type in the street information on the delivery address line.
Previously, Address Verification returned an Ix match score when organization information preceded street information on a delivery line.
