Data Options

The Data tab allows you to specify which databases to use in geocoding. Databases contain the address and geocode data necessary to determine the geocode for a given address. The data is based on address and geocoding data from postal authorities and suppliers of geographical data.

Note: As the EGM Module transitions its administrative tasks to a web-based Management Console, labels for the options may use different wording than what you see in Enterprise Designer. There is no difference in behavior.

Description

DatabaseSearchOrder

The name of one or more database resources to use in the search process. Use the database name specified in the Management Console's Spectrum Databases page. tool. For more information, see the Spectrumâ„¢ Technology Platform Administration Guide.

You can specify multiple database resources. If you specify more than one database, list them in order of preference. The order of the databases has an effect when there are close match candidates from different databases. The close matches that are returned come from the database that is first in the search list. Close matches from lower ranked databases are demoted to non-close matches.
