To verify an address, you perform steps in Data Quality and in Data Integration.
The following image shows the steps involved in the verification process:
The verification process includes the following steps:
1Analyze the structure of the source data, so that you can identify the fields that contain the address elements. You might run a profile to understand the data structure. You might also consult with a data steward who is responsible for the data. You will connect each address field to the appropriate input field in the Verifier asset that you create.
2In Data Quality, configure a Verifier asset that can process the address data.
To configure the asset, perform the following steps:
aIn the Verifier, select the input fields that match the address fields in the source data.
bSelect the output fields that represent the structure of the address data that you want to write to the mapping target.
Optionally, add status reporting fields to the output fields. Status reporting fields are optional but important elements that report on the success or otherwise of the verification operation.
Optionally, add enrichment fields to the output fields.
cReview the verification properties, and update the property values if necessary.
3In Data Integration, define a mapping that can run the verification operation.
As part of the mapping definition, do the following:
aAdd the verifier asset to a Verifier transformation.
bConnect the verifier asset input and output fields to the upstream and downstream objects in the mapping.
4Run the mapping and review the outcome of the verification operation. You can modify the Verifier and re-run the mapping to obtain better results.
