NAME=

Required. Unique identifier for the multi-search definition. The name must not match any loader definition or search definition names in a system.

COMMENT=

Brief description about the multi-search.

SEARCH-LIST=

List of searches to run. Separate the searches by commas, and enclose the whole string in double quotes. Run all the searches against the same identity table. You can specify a maximum of 16 searches.

When you use the statistical output view field

IDS-MS-SEARCH-NUM

, the returned result refers to the search names in the list. For example, the value 1 refers to the first search in the list and value 2 refers to the second search in the list.

IDT-NAME=

Required. Identifier for the identity table against which you want to perform the multi-search.

IDL-NAME=

Optional. Identifier for the link table that stores the search results.

SOURCE-DEDUP-MAX=

Optional. Number of records to cache. A multi-search caches the records that a search processes and uses the results when another search in the search list retrieves them as candidates. This option helps only if all the searches use the same

Score-Logic

. The default value of 0 disables this option.

DEDUP-PROGRESS=

Optional. Maximum number of identity table records to process to find duplicate records before returning the control to a client process. The DupFinder process treats each identity record as a search record instead of reading search records provided by a client. The search process does not return control to the client until it finds a duplicate record. The process might take a long time if you have few duplicate records in the identity table. The client uses the time interval to write progress messages. The default value of 0 disables this option.

OPTIONS=

A comma-separated list of keywords that control the multi-search. Use the following options:

FULL-SEARCH. Processes all the searches in the list.
LINK-PK. Specifies that the link table contains primary key columns in addition to the normal data.
LINK-HARD-LIMIT. Specifies that the link table does not contain links for the rejected candidates.
LINK-SELF. Specifies that the link table contains links for the rows that found themselves.
CONVENTIONAL-PATH. Specifies that the link table uses the Conventional-Path option to load.
