Package com.sap.mdm.matching.commands Description

Provides commands for MDM matching functionality.

Overview

MDM matching functionality addresses the consolidation of records within an MDM repository. The purpose of matching is to locate identicals (the same object in different systems) and duplicates (the same object in the same system).

A matching strategy identifies potential matches for each record based on the matching scores of the individual rules that comprise the strategy and the thresholds that determine which records are potential matches for each record.

A matching rule defines the matching function to be applied to a field or field combination and assigns a score based on whether the matching function succeeds, fails, or is undefined because of null values.

MDM matching functionality through the API is currently limited to executing a matching strategy and retrieving results for that matching strategy.

This is the sequence of events for normal matching usage:

  1. Selects a matching strategy
  2. Executes a matching strategy
  3. Retrieves the results for a matching strategy
  4. Terminates a matching strategy
