MatchRecord Activity
The MatchRecord activity performs the following:
- Retrieves a source record list as an input and matches each source record against the existing repository data.
- Runs a fuzzy search query and returns potential matches.
- Identifies a matching record provided in a set of matching attribute criteria.
Based on the MatchingThreshold set in the MatchRecord activity, the output of the workflow is as follows:
- If one match is found, it is assumed that the match describes the same semantic record and the new record is merged into the existing record as a new version.
- If no match is found, the record is assumed to be a new one and is introduced as a new record in the repository.
- If multiple matches are found, a work item page is displayed where you can select one of the choices displayed. For more information, refer to Work Item.
