Creating a Universal Matching Service - spectrum_quality_1 - 23.1

A universal matching service is a service that can use any of your match rules to perform matching and can accept any input fields. The service takes a match rule name as an input option, allowing you specify the match rule you want to use in the API call or web service request. The service does not have a predefined input schema so you can include whatever fields are appropriate for the type of records you want to match. By creating a universal matching service you can avoid having separate services for each match rule, enabling you to add new match rules without having to add a service.

This procedure shows how to create a universal matching service and includes an example of a web service request to the universal matching service.
