Configuring Address Standardization

You can use Address Verification to define general standardization for the elements in an address, such as locality, country, building, postal code, street, house number, and post office.

You can standardize addresses at the following levels:

Address Level: To standardize complete addresses, use the address level standardization properties, such as
Casing
,
maxItemLength
,
Alias Handling
,
CountryCodeType
,
DescriptorLength
,
FormatWithCountry
, and
CountryNameLanguage
.
For example, to modify the casing of the complete address, append the
casing
property with the
ADV6_Standardizations_Default
default standardization parameter. Set the parameter value to
Lower
,
Mixed
, or
Upper
.

You can refer to the following format:

ADV6_Standardizations_Default_Casing=Lower

Element Level: To standardize discrete elements in addresses, use the element level standardization properties, such as
casing
,
maxItemCount
,
maxItemLength
, and
Alias Handling
.
For example, the existing address line 1 appears in four lines. To display line 1 of addresses in a single line, append the
MaxItemCount
property with the
ADV6_Standardizations_ElementStandardizations_AddressLine1
default standardization parameter. Set the parameter value to
1
.

You can refer to the following format:

ADV6_Standardizations_ElementStandardizations_AddressLine1_MaxItemCount=1

For more information about the different address-level and element-level properties for configuring the standardization parameters, see the
Informatica Address Verification Developer Guide
.

To validate and generate correct output data, ensure that you add valid properties as specified in Address Verification. If you add invalid properties, Address Verification generates extraneous output data.
