SSA-NAME3 is delivered with over 60 Standard Populations covering different countries, languages and regions. As new Standard Populations are added regularly, the most current list is that which is shown by the Informatica IR Product Installer.
Before installing SSA-NAME3, an analysis should be done of the data that is to be searched and matched. Which country(ies) is it from? What codepage is it in? Does it contain mixed scripts?
When installing SSA-NAME3, choose the Standard Population(s) that suit the data you will be searching and matching. An Informatica Corporation consultant can be contacted for assistance with the decision. In many cases the decision will be simple (e.g. a USA company doing business in the USA alone would choose the USA Standard Population).
All standard populations currently supported by Informatica Corporation are delivered with the SSA-NAME3 install. However, some require a separate license to use.
If you have selected a Population during the install process that requires a separate license, a license warning screen will be shown prompting verification that the license is held.
Currently, the Standard Populations requiring a separate license are:
The Chinese, Japanese and Korean double-byte populations;
The Arabic Mixed population (supporting bi-directional Arabic / Latin searching and matching)
