Establishes only initial clustering. During synchronization, this option does not have any effect.

If a search record does not match any records, this option discards the search record and does not create a cluster for it. Use this option to establish initial clustering when you use multiple intermediate clustering strategies.

For example, use the Best clustering method on names to establish initial clustering. When you use the Merge clustering method on addresses with the

NoNew

option, the clustering strategy does not create clusters for the names that do not have a matching address.

If a search returns any accepted match records, the pre-merge-review option flags all the clusters that have accepted match records but does not merge the clusters. Use Informatica Data Director to manually review the details of all the flagged clusters.

If a search returns any accepted match records, the post-merge-review option merges all the clusters that have accepted match records and flags the merged cluster. Use Informatica Data Director to manually review the details of the flagged cluster.

If a search returns undecided match records, the Best clustering method creates a cluster for the search record. The best-undecided-review option flags the cluster created for the search record and the existing cluster of the best matched record with undecided decision. Use Informatica Data Director to manually review the details of the flagged clusters.

If a search returns undecided match records, the Best clustering method creates a cluster for the search record. The all-undecided-review option flags the cluster created for the search record and all the existing clusters of the undecided match records. Use Informatica Data Director to manually review the details of all the flagged clusters.

If the status of any cluster is undecided or manual, the preferred-record-review option flags those clusters. Use Informatica Data Director to manually review the preferred record of each flagged cluster. You can accept the suggested preferred record or create a different preferred record.

Applies the forced link and unlink rules on the clusters during initial clustering or synchronization.

Audits the maintenance operations that you perform on a cluster. The maintenance operations include add, delete, link, unlink, and update task that you perform on the preferred records and comments.

Audits the maintenance operations that you perform on the members of a cluster. The maintenance operations include tracking the members of a cluster and logging the details about the operations that you perform on the members of the cluster.
