Enable Search by Rules

When you enable a match rule set for Enable Search by Rules, you reserve that particular match rule set for use with the

SearchMatch

API. To use an Enable Search by Rules match rule set, the

SearchMatch

MatchType must be

NONE

and you must specify the match rule set in the

SearchMatch

request. If you use Enable Search by Rules then the MDM Hub only uses fuzzy matches.

You might want to perform a search with some empty fields. When SearchMatch performs a search using an Enable Search by Rules match rule set, it ignores empty fields provided by the search request. This prevents the exclusion of relevant records from the search results.

For more information about

SearchMatch

, see the

Multidomain MDM Services Integration Framework Guide

If you enable the optional Hub Server property to perform exact matches on fuzzy base objects, it affects match rules. The MDM Hub does not return matches if you use the same source columns for both exact and fuzzy matching. To avoid this problem, you must disable the

cmx.server.match.exact_match_fuzzy_bo_api

property in the cmxserver.properties file. For more information about the Hub Server properties, see the
