Syniti Match API - Example Configurations – Software Support

Here's an example of a simple configuration for Syniti Match API.

After applying this configuration, Syniti Match API will be configured for Matching at individual level, using two match keys for high data volumes, and will output matching groups of records.

The following chapters detail the contents of the configuration settings.

Omitted from the example are the memory settings, disk settings, and some miscellaneous settings; please refer to the samples\configFull.xml file that's available after installation of the product.

Default values will be used for any settings that are not specified in the configuration.

Here is a more complete configuration example to show the arrangement:
