System and Search Configuration

System and Search Configuration

After you connect to the Search Server, you choose the system and search and match parameters.
You can change these parameters on the
IR Settings
 tab after you create the transformation.

System

Choose the system in the Rulebase. A system is the highest level logical definition in an IIR Rulebase.

Search Definition

Choose the search definition that contains the rules for the system. The search definition resides in a system and contains the rules to search, match, and display records.

Search Width

Choose the search width that determines the scope of the search that you want to conduct.
The following table describes the search widths that you can choose:
Search Width
Description
Narrow
Provides a narrow search with a quick response time. Use this option when you have a low risk associated with missing a match, when you do not require a high match accuracy, or when the data volume is large and response time is critical.
Typical
Provides a balance between quality and response time. Use this option for online or batch transaction searches. Default is typical.
Exhaustive
Provides a detailed search with an extended response time. Use this option when you have a high risk associated with missing a match, when data quality is a concern, or when the data volume is low and response time is not critical.

Match Tolerance

Choose the match tolerance that determines how aggressive the matching scheme is to select candidate records.
The following table describes the match tolerance options that you can choose:
Match Tolerance
Description
Extreme
Delivers a candidate match with a set of possible methods for processing. Response time for processing is more. Use this option when you need to find a match even it contains errors and variation.
Conservative
Delivers matches that are not excessive or extreme. Use for online or batch transaction searches.
Typical
Delivers close matches. Use in batch systems when you need an accurate match.
Loose
Delivers matches with a higher degree of variation than the typical level. Use in systems where the risk of missing a match is high and when you can review results.
