You use the Matches Found sub tab
on the Comparison Rule tab in the Comparison
Rules application to create matches found clauses.
Before you begin
These instructions are based on the assumption that you have
selected a comparison rule or that you have created a new rule in
the Comparison Rules application and are positioned on the
Comparison
Rule tab. You must create or select a comparison rule
before you can perform these steps.
About this task
A matches found clause specifies the acceptable ratio of
Data
Set 1 object instances to
Data Set 2 object
instances in the comparison after the system applies the
Data
Set 1 or
Data Set 2 filter or both.
Each clause identifies an object in
Data Set 1 and
an object in
Data Set 2 to evaluate. The clause
also includes an operator that specifies the number of instances of
the
Data Set 1 object and the number of instances
of the
Data Set 2 object.
Procedure
- On the Comparison Rule tab in the
Comparison Rules application, select the Matches Found sub
tab.
- To add a matches found clause, in the Matches
Found Clauses table window, click New Row. The application generates a sequence number for each new row
created. By default, the application creates sequence numbers in increments
of 10 in ascending order. You can modify the numbers as needed or
add new clauses with sequence numbers that fall between already-existing
numbers. Each sequence number must be unique. When you save the record,
the application sorts the clauses in ascending numeric order.
- Optional: If you are creating multiple clauses,
in the (... field (open parenthesis), enter
an open parenthesis.
- In the Data Set 1 Object field,
click Select Value and select a Data
Set 1 object.
- If you selected a specification (such as ASSETSPEC) for
the Data Set 1 Object field, in the Data
Set 1 Class Structure field, click Select Value and
specify a class structure. The selected class structure
populates the Data Set 1 Class Structure field.
The classification for the selected class structure is displayed in
the Data Set 1 Classification field. A description
is displayed in the Data Set 1 Class Structure Description field.
- In the Operator field, click Select
Value and select an operator for the matches found clause.
- In the Data Set 2 Object field,
click Select Value and select a Data
Set 2 object.
- If you select a specification (such as ASSETSPEC) for the Data
Set 2 Object field, in the Data Set 2 Class
Structure field, click Select Value and
specify a class structure. The selected class structure
populates the Data Set 2 Class Structure field.
The classification for the selected class structure is displayed in
the Data Set 2 Classification field. A description
is displayed in the Data Set 2 Class Structure Description field.
- Optional: In the ...) field
(close parenthesis), enter a close parenthesis.
- Optional: If you are creating multiple clauses,
in the Sequence Operator field, click Select
Value and select the appropriate sequence operator. If you use multiple clauses, specify a sequence operator for
all rows except the row with the highest sequence number. The row
with the highest sequence number cannot have a sequence operator.
- Optional: Repeat steps 2 through 10 to create
additional matches found clauses.
What to do next
When you have entered all matches found clauses, you can
create one or more filters for the comparison rule by selecting another
sub tab in the application. For a matches found comparison, you must
have at least one data set filter. When you complete all components
of the comparison rule, save the comparison rule.
