Default Outbound Attributes for Matcher Projects
This section describes the details of each outbound attribute usage.
Attribute
Attribute Type
Description
Hint
Outbound
A description on how the score and pattern were obtained. 400 characters is the preferred width of the staging column to which this attribute is mapped. To accommodate the possibility of a longer string, make suitable changes to the width of the staging column in the object definition so that the column holds the full string length.
Pattern
Outbound
Using the customer domain example, the possible values are:
*MASTER. Relevant only in a Multiple-Table Gold model. It indicates that only the customer attributes have matched. So there is a new address for the existing customer.
*BOTH. Relevant only in both Multiple-Table Gold and Single-Table models. In a Multiple-Table Gold model, it indicates that both the customer and address attributes have matched. In a Single-Table model, BOTH is the only value possible as all customer information is available in a single table.
18 characters is the preferred width of the staging column to which this attribute is mapped.
Score
Outbound
Values could be any number between 0 and 100. It indicates the similarity between the Consolidation and Gold records. 10 characters is the preferred width of the staging column to which this attribute is mapped.
Match Type
Outbound

Possible values are:
*Create Gold - Created
*Process best match – Linked to existing gold record
*Process only if single match – Queued for manual match
*Process only if single match – Linked to existing gold record
*Queue for manual matching - Queued
