Configuring Proximity Search

Configuring Proximity Search

To configure proximity search, you must configure the Geocode column and one or more other fuzzy match columns. The
MDM Hub
 generates the match keys for proximity search based on the fuzzy match column other than the Geocode column that you configure.
  1. Select the
    Schema
     tool and acquire a write lock.
    The Schema Navigator appears.
  2. Expand the base object for which you want to configure proximity search, and select Match/Merge Setup.
    The
    Match/Merge Setup Details
     pane appears.
  3. Click the
    Properties
     tab and configure the match properties for the base object.
    Ensure that you set the value of the
    Match/Search Strategy
     property to Fuzzy.
  4. Click the
    Paths
     tab and configure match paths if related records exist.
  5. Click the
    Match Columns
     tab and configure match columns for match rules.
    1. In the Fuzzy Match Key section, configure the fuzzy match key properties.
      Ensure that you select a key type from the
      Key Type
       list, based on which you want match keys generated.
      A fuzzy match column is added to the Match Columns section.
    2. Select and move source columns for the fuzzy match column to the Selected Columns list.
    3. Click
      Add Fuzzy Match Column
      .
      The
      Add Fuzzy Match Column
       dialog box appears.
    4. From the
      Field Name
       list, select Geocode.
    5. Move the base object columns that contain geographic coordinate data to the Selected Columns list to create a match column for proximity search.
      If all the geographic coordinate data is in a single column, move that column to the Selected Columns list.
    6. Click
      OK
      .
  6. Click the
    Match Rule Sets
     tab and configure a match rule set.
    1. Click
      Add
       in the Match Rule Set section.
      The
      Add Match Rule Set
       dialog box appears.
    2. Enter a name for the match rule set, and click
      OK
      .
      The match rule set appears in the Match Rule Set section.
    3. Click
      Add
       in the Match Rules section.
      The
      Edit Match Rule
       dialog box appears.
    4. Click
      Edit
      .
      The
      Add/Remove Match Columns
       dialog box appears.
    5. Select
      Geocode
       and the fuzzy match column based on which you want match keys generated.
    6. Click
      OK
      .
      The
      Edit Match Rule
       dialog box appears.
    7. Set match rule properties including
      Geocode Radius
      , and click
      OK
      .
      The match rule appears in the Match rules section.
You can now use a batch job or a
Services Integration Framework
 API to perform a proximity search.
