Partial Address Completion
When you use suggestion list mode or interactive mode, you can enter an incomplete address and retrieve valid and complete addresses from the reference data.
Select suggestion list mode when you are uncertain of an address and you want to view a list of valid address candidates. Select interactive mode when you are confident of an address and you want to validate the complete form. In each case, the Address Validator transformation searches the address reference data and returns all addresses that contain the input data.
Consider the following rules and guidelines when you configure the transformation to run in suggestion list mode or interactive mode:
- •You can define an input address on multiple ports, or you can enter all address elements on the Complete Address input port.
- •When you configure the transformation in suggestion list mode, select ports from the Discrete input group. Alternatively, select a Complete Address port and optionally select a Country Name port from the Multiline group.
- •Suggestion list mode and interactive mode can return multiple addresses for each input address. The Max Result Count property specifies an upper limit for the number of addresses returned. If the number of matching address is greater than the Max Result Count value, the Count Overflow port returns the number of additional addresses.
- •Informatica Address Verification refers to suggestion list mode as fast completion mode.
