Table 1. Interflow Match Output Fields

Field Name

Description / Valid Values

CollectionNumber

Identifies a collection of duplicate records. The possible values are 1 or greater.

ExpressMatchIdentified

Indicates whether the match was obtained using the express match key. The possible values are Yes or No.

HasDuplicates

Identifies whether the record is a duplicate of another record. One of the following:

Y
The record is a suspect record and has duplicates.
N
The record is a suspect record and has no duplicates.
D
The record is a candidate record and is a duplicate of the suspect record.
U
The record is a candidate record but is not a duplicate of the suspect record.

InterflowSourceType

The possible values are input_port_0 or input_port_1

MatchRecordType

Identifies the type of match record in a collection. The possible values are:

suspect
The original input record that was flagged as possibly having duplicate records.
duplicate
A record that is a duplicate of the input record.
unique
A record that has no duplicates.

MatchScore

Identifies the overall score between two records. The possible values are 0-100, with 0 indicating a poor match and 100 indicating an exact match.

Note: The Validate Address and Advanced Matching Module stages both use the MatchScore field. The MatchScore field value in the output of a dataflow is determined by the last stage to modify the value before it is sent to an output stage. If you have a dataflow that contains Validate Address and Advanced Matching Module stages and you want to see the MatchScore field output for each stage, use a Transformer stage to copy the MatchScore value to another field. For example, Validate Address produces an output field called MatchScore and then a Transformer stage copies the MatchScore field from Validate Address to a field called AddressMatchScore. When the matcher stage runs it populates the MatchScore field with the value from the matcher and passes through the AddressMatchScore value from Validate Address.
