Configuring Match Settings for Non-US Populations

If the MDM Hub implementation uses a non-US population, configure the population set and enable encoding for match processing. A population set encapsulates intelligence about name, address, and other identification information that is typical for a particular population. For more information about population sets, see Population Sets.

The MDM Hub includes a

demo.ysp

file and a

<population>.ysp

file. The

demo.ysp

file contains a population for demonstration purposes only and must not be used for actual match rules. In your MDM Hub implementation, use the

<population>.ysp

population file for which you purchased a license. If you do not have a population file, contact Informatica Global Customer Support to get a population file that is appropriate for your implementation.

Decide on a population set based on the following considerations:

If the data is exclusively from one country and Informatica provides a population set for that country, then use that population.

If the data is mostly from one country with small amounts of mixed data from one or more countries, use the majority population.

If the data is from different countries with large amounts of mixed data, consider whether it is meaningful to match across such a disparate set of data. If so, then use the

international

population.
