Purpose of Transformation in DQM?

Staging ->Exact and Cleanse are common

transformations given by Oracle [Pre-Seeded]
First Name Last Name
->You can define as many custom
Anil Passian transformation rules, like replacing Z with S

Exact Cleanse Exact Cleanse ->Multiple transformation rules can be applied to

each column. For each transformation applied, a
ANIL ANL PASSIAN PSN independent column value is stored in staging
table

EXACT TRANSFORMATION
Make all characters UPPER case
Remove non-alphanumeric characters
Match Found Replace multiple white spaces by single white space

CLEANSE All above rules of EXACT plus

Remove double letters
Remove all vowels, except leading vowels

Transformation can be applied again to values that user

is searching. Lets say user searches on Aneeal Passion

ANEEAL ANL PASSION PSN ->These transformations can differ from those used for
staging. But most likely we use same transformations
when searching as that for staging.
Exact Cleanse Exact Cleanse
While doing DQM config, we will give Higher Scoring to
Aneeal Last Name, and lower Scoring for First Name match
Passion
First Name Last Name For Last Name, we give 100% Weighting to EXACT
Match, and say 65% weight to CLEANSE. Hence match

based on Exact will have higher rank
User searches for Aneeal Passion.eeeks
 To setup DQM for Staging:-
1. Decide the columns that you would like to search & score/rank upon. For example Last
Name, First Name, DOB, NI Number etc
2. Define custom attributes for those columns that are not held within TCA table like
HZ_PARTIES. For example NI Number is not in TCA tables, hence we can define Custom
Attributes for NI Number, and then define Custom Procedure that returns NI number from
HR tables [for a given party_id]
3. Define the transformations for each column. Multiple transformations can be defined

Make a

scoring or data
search

If Acquisition Flag is checked, it

means this transformed value will

applied to each column.

If Acquisition Flag is NOT

checked, it means this
transformed value will be used
solely for the purpose of Scoring
the records returned by
acquisition phase.

Define match rules

Scoring happens after Filtration and

Acquisition has been done. The resultant
set of records are then run through scoring
process, so that we can display highest
ranked matches on the top of list

These are the transformations which

will be used for performing search.
Only those Transformations that have
their Acquisition Checkbox Flag
checked [in previous slide], can be
used in acquisition phase

A custom attribute can be defined to Filter

out invalid Party Records. Filter is
applicable if we can programmatically
suppress duplicate/invalid Party records
from appearing.
http://oracle.anipassi.com
Scoring Phase [After Acquisition phase is completed]

Assign score to each column.

Match found on Party Number
will have Score 100, whereas
match on Last Name can be
score of 90. Score for match
on Title[Mr/Ms] will be still
lower

Within each column, each

transformation can be given
different Weight. EXACT match
can be given 100% weight,
whereas CLEANSE [after
removing vowels] will be give
lower weight.

Transformations used in Acquisition can

be used for Scoring too.
