The Reset Match Table job is created automatically after you run a match job and the following conditions exist: if records have been updated to consolidation_ind = 2, and if you then change your match rules.
If you change your match rules after matching, you are prompted to reset your matches. When you reset matches, everything in the match table is deleted. In addition, the Reset Match Table job then resets the consolidation_ind=4 where it is =2.
When you save changes to the schema match columns, a message box is displayed that prompts you to reset the existing matches and create a Reset Match Table job in the Batch Viewer. You need to click

If you do not reset the existing matches, your next Match job will take longer to execute because
Informatica MDM Hub
will need to regenerate the match tokens before running the Match job.
