Configuration report

The Configuration report provides a unified view of the system settings that you configure using the Configuration Console. Use this report to view or print the current system configuration before you change system configuration, when you are troubleshooting a configuration issue, or when you need to compare different configuration settings.

The report lists the current configuration settings by category:
Data Sources
View configuration settings for data sources, including the data source ID, the data source code, the role code associated with the data source, the entity resolution configuration associated with the data source, and the current status of the data source code (active or inactive).
To configure data sources, select Setup > Sources > Data Sources.
Number Types
View configuration settings for number types, including the number type ID, the number type, the minimum and maximum length for the number type, any associated masks for the number type, information about how the number type is used in entity resolution, and whether the number type is active or inactive.
To configure number types, selectSetup > Sources > Numbers.
Characteristic Types
View configuration settings for characteristic types, including the characteristic type ID, the name of the characteristic type, the associated data type for the characteristic (such as character or date), information about how the characteristic type is used in entity resolution, and whether the characteristic type is active or inactive.
To configure characteristic types, select Setup > Sources > Characteristics.
Plugin
View configuration settings for attribute and scoring customization, including plugin ID, name, type, version, and Library Short Name.
To configure plugins for attribute and scoring customization, select Setup > General > Plugins.

View configuration settings for event types, including the unit of measure associated with the value for this event. Event types are part of Event Manager.
To configure event types, select Setup > Sources > Event Types.
Data Quality Management Rules
View the list of data quality management rules (DQM rules) and their associated parameters that are configured for a specific UMF tag within a UMF segment, including which UMF segment and UMF tag name the DQM rule is associated, the order in which the DQM rule is used on that UMF segment and tag, associated parameters for the DQM rule on that UMF segment and tag, whether the DQM rule corrects incoming data for that UMF segment and tag, and whether the DQM rule is currently enabled on that UMF segment and tag.
To configure a UMF segment and UMF tag to use DQM rules, select Setup > UMF > DQM Rules.
Load Mapping
View the configuration information for how UMF data is mapped to the corresponding tables and table columns in the entity database, including UMF segment name, UMF data path, the name of the entity database table, the field name and type within that entity database table, the data type for that field, and whether the mapping is enabled.
To map data from a UMF segment to a table in the entity database, select Setup > UMF > Data Map.
Entity Resolution Rules
View the configuration settings for each entity resolution rule, including the entity resolution rule ID, the order for the rule, the minimum resolution and relationship scores for the rule, and whether the rule incorporates denials.
To configure entity resolution rules, select Setup > Resolution > Resolution Rules.
Entity Resolution Confirm/Deny
View the settings for the scores that contribute to the confirmation and denial process of entity resolution, including the associated entity resolution ID and configuration ID, the priority of each score, the description and attribute name for each score, and the numeric value of the score.
To configure settings for entity resolution confirmations and denials, select Setup > Resolution > Confirms & Denials.
Entity Resolution Characteristics
View the settings for characteristic types that are configured with confirmation and denial weights used during entity resolution, including the priority, the confirmation weight, and the denial weight.
To configure confirmation and denial weights for characteristic types, select Setup > Resolution > Characteristics.
Role Codes
View the list of configured role codes and their associated settings, including role code ID and description, role code class, and the current status of the role code (active or inactive).
To configure role codes, select Setup > Relationships > Roles.
Role Alert Rules
View the list of configured role alert rules and their associated settings, including role alert rule ID and description, severity, minimum alert threshold, and the role code IDs of the two roles that trigger this role alert rule.
To configure role alert rules, select Setup > Relationships > Role Alert Rules.
Name Manager Configuration
View the configured settings for the Name Manager feature that extends name precision during entity resolution.
To configure settings for Name Manager, select Setup > Resolution > Name Manager Match Config.
Separation Configuration
View the configured settings for the Degrees of Separation feature of the pipeline that can detect relationships one, two, or more degrees of separation.
To configure settings for degrees of separation, select Setup > Relationships > Separation Config.
System Sequences
View configuration settings for sequence numbers that indicate how the system loads and processes data. System sequence numbers assist with system load performance in two ways. First, because they allow each pipeline to issue one query that grabs a sequential set of numbers, and then keep those numbers in cache until the numbers are used up. Secondly, because sequence numbers prevent multiple pipelines that are generating system-generated IDs from using the same ID number for more than one record.
For example, each time the pipeline creates a new entity during entity resolution processing, the system generates a unique Entity ID. Using system sequences, the pipeline can send one query to ask for the next available 1000 Entity ID numbers. So for the next 1000 newly created entities, the pipeline can use the available Entity ID numbers stored in its memory. The alternative (slower) method is for each pipeline to send one query to the entity database asking for a new Entity ID for each new entity created.
To configure system sequences, Setup > UMF > Load Sequence
Generic Thresholds
View the generic thresholds settings configured by attribute, including attribute name, attribute type, and the threshold number that determines when a specific value for that attribute becomes generic.
To configure generic thresholds by attribute type, select Setup > UMF > Generic Threshold.
Table Dictionary
View the dictionary settings by entity database table, including table name, description, and the table type.
To configure the table dictionary, select Setup > UMF > Dictionary.
Look Up Tables
View the settings for the list of tables the system uses as lookup tables during processing, including the table name, the key field name, the ID field name, and whether to load the table in memory during processing.
To configure which tables the system uses as look up tables, select Setup > UMF > Lookup.
Matching Configuration
View the settings for each resolution configuration configured in your system, including the configuration name and ID, match type, and UMF segment name.
To configure match configurations, select Setup > Resolution > Candidate Builder.
Document Types
View the settings for UMF input documents, including document type, whether to perform data quality management on this document type, whether to load the data processed by this document type into the entity resolution database, and the level of entity resolution to perform on this input UMF document type.
To configure UMF input documents, select Setup > UMF > Input Documents.
UMF Output Format
View the format settings for UMF output documents, including the format ID and code, the route direction, and whether the output format setting is enabled.
To configure formats for UMF output documents, select Setup > UMF > Output Documents.
