- Trust Action
- From the drop-down list, select Yes to specify
that you can rely on the accuracy of the ACTION UMF tag from
your data source. Otherwise, select No to determine
the action by examining the entity database. Selecting No will

- For Searching
- From the drop-down list, select Yes to specify
that this data source is used for loading searches. Otherwise, select No.
- Transliterate
- From the drop-down list, select Yes to specify
that transliteration should occur for this data source. This allows support
for the Latin 1 character set. Otherwise, select No.
Note: If
you enable the transliterate setting for any data source, you must also enable
the transliterate configuration setting for data source ID 1589 (Search).
The 1589 data source is used by IBM Relationship Resolution to input searches
to the pipeline, and by default assumes ASCII character inputs.
Enabling this configuration will ensure that names that are part of a search
are also properly transliterated to provide the most accurate search results.
