Externalizing Match Processors

The Externalize option is displayed on the Sub-Processor window of each Match processor. Open this window by double-clicking on the Match processor on the Canvas.

Externalizing Match processors allows the following settings to be changed dynamically at runtime:

• Which Clusters are enabled/disabled
• The cluster limit for each cluster
• The cluster comparison limit for each cluster
• Which match rules are enabled/disabled
• The order in which match rules are executed
• The priority score associated with each match rule
• The decision associated with each rule

There are two stages to externalizing Match processor options:

• Select Match processor options to externalize
• Configure the externalized Match processor options at the process level

Note: The second stage is optional, but recommended to ensure the externalized option has a meaningful name.

Select Match processor options to externalize:

1. Click Externalize on the Sub-Processor window. The Externalization dialog is displayed.
2. Select the properties to externalize with the check boxes next to the Match Properties listed.
3. Click OK to accept, or Close to abandon.

Configure externalized Match processor options at the process level

Externalized options have a default generic name. Use the following procedure to assign a different name:

1. Either:
• right-click on the relevant processor, and select Externalize; or
• select the process Canvas and click on the toolbar.

The Process Externalization dialog is displayed. This displays all the externalized options in the process, including any externalized match processor options.

2. Ensure the Enable Externalization check box is selected.
3. Click on the required option in the top area of the dialog. The bottom area shows the name of the processor it originates from and allows you to link directly to that processor in the Canvas.
4. Click Rename.
5. Enter the new name in the Rename dialog.
6. Click OK to save, or Cancel to abandon.
