Hi all,
We are working in a project with BODS 4.0 SP1 on unix solaris. One of the main goals of the project is cleansing address data from several source.
We have noticed several errors using the AddressCleanse transform. From one of our data sources we receive this address:
Street - Street Number - City - Postal Code
SAN VICENTE MÁRTIR - 151 - VALENCIA - 46007
This address is incomplete, the correct one is:
Street - Street Number - City - Postal Code
SAN VICENTE MARTIR - 151 - VALENCIA - 46007
The AddressCleansing dataflow we have developed is able to determine the correct postal code (46007) but is unable to correct the name of the street.
We have activated the "SUGGESTION_LIST" option to receive all those addresses that supposedly are similar to the input address and the result is the following:
CARCEL DE SAN VICENTE - 151 - VALENCIA - 46003
ALTAR DE SAN VICENTE - 151 - VALENCIA - 46002
NIÑOS DE SAN VICENTE - 151 - VALENCIA - 46002
The question is: How is possible to see just these results If none of them has the same postal code (46007) and the tool not even displays the correct one?
We have also noticed in our tests the following behavior:
1. We put as the :
"San Vicente". It seems that BODS only return a match if the end of the addresses are the same.
3. We have checked that in Valencia city (Spain), the right address name
is: "San Vicente Martir", but with this input value we have passed, DQ
never returns this address.
4. If we pass as input "Martir", we have seen that the dataflow returns a
suggestion list with several option and "San Vicente Martir" is included
as a valid option.
Any help or suggestions will be welcomed.
Regards.
A.Alvarez.
