In an administrative role with the TIBCO EBX® Match and Merge Add-on, you can perform actions that:
Specify the data that can participate in the add-on's matching and merging operations.
Create a matching policy that determines when and how matching processes execute. How you enable add-on features for business users depends on use case requirements. To prevent duplication of existing data, you might want to trigger matching when a business user creates or updates a record. Alternatively, you might have existing data that you want to de-duplicate.
Create a set of rules that determines how the add-on automatically merges data to create a golden record. A golden record contains the most accurate and up-to-date data.
The Administrator Guide aims to explain how to configure the add-on. The higher-level administrative tasks required to get up and running are described in the Quick Start section. Its chapters and sections are ordered in the recommended sequence of completion. The other chapters and sections in this guide drill into more detailed subjects. After you become more familiar with the add-on, feel free to use this guide as a reference for configuration-related tasks.
