Address Validator Transformation Input Port Groups

Before you can connect address data to input ports on the transformation, you browse the input groups and select the ports that correspond to the structure and content of the input data. Browse the output groups and select the ports that match your data requirements.

The Address Validator transformation displays the port groups in a Basic Model and Advanced Model. You can define most addresses using a port group in the Basic Model. if your addresses are highly complex, use the additional ports available in the Advanced Model.

Select ports from one input port group only.

The transformation has the following input port groups:

Discrete: Use Discrete ports to read data columns that contain complete information on a single data element, such as a house number, street, or post code. Find the Discrete group in the Basic and Advanced models.
Hybrid: Use Hybrid ports to read data columns that contain information about one or more data elements. The Hybrid group combines ports from the Discrete and Multiline groups. Use Hybrid ports to create address records that you can submit to a mail carrier. Hybrid ports structure an address to mail carrier standards and identify the type of data on each line. Find the Hybrid group in the Basic and Advanced models.
Multiline: Use Multiline ports to read data columns that contain multiple data elements. Each input column corresponds to a line of an address. For best results, define the input data in the format that the mail carrier requires. Select the Multiline ports to create a printable set of address records.; Each Multiline port represents a line in the printable address, such as the following line of street data:; 123 Main Street, Apartment 2; Multiline ports do not specify the type of data that appears on each address line. Find the Multiline group in the Basic and Advanced models.
Single-Line: Use Single-Line ports to read a single data column that contains all address elements to province level and that does not include a separator between elements. Use the Complete Address port in the port group to submit the address elements. The port group also includes a Country port that you can use to read country information for the address. Find the Single-Line group in the Basic and Advanced models.
