Adjusting Router Countries - trillium_discovery - trillium_quality - 17.1

When you created your Name and Address project, you selected one or more countries to be included in the project. You can change that original selection after you create the project. The Adjust Router Countries wizard enables you to:

 To adjust the Global Data Router configuration for this project

1. From the Navigation View, right-click the Global Data Router process and select Adjust Router Countries. The Select Countries window opens, displaying a list of available countries that have a country-specific project template and a list of countries already included in the project.
2. (Optional) If you have purchased basic country support and want to display those countries in the Available Countries list, select the Display all countries check box. This option enables you to add a basic country to your project for Router processing without creating a flow for that country. The Router creates an output entity that contains the records for that country but does no further processing.
3. Select countries to add in the Available Countries pane and click >.Or, select countries to remove in the Selected Countries pane and click <.
   Note: The list of available countries varies, depending on the licenses purchased by your company. It may only include one or two or it may include dozens.
4. Click and drag rows in the Selected Countries pane to change the process order of the countries.
   Note: The order in which the countries are selected is critical to the results. Countries should be selected in descending order of number of records expected. For example, if most of the records are for the US, then US should be the first country in the list.
5. (Optional) If you want to change the specific country flow to another country, you can send a country to another country or include multiple countries in certain country. See Routing Country to Another Country for details.
6. Select Transformer Unified Output or Transformer Label Lines for the last process in the project.
   • The Transformer Unified Output process generates output in a common format, and if there are multiple countries in the project, it merges outputs from all countries into one single output at the end of the project.
   • The Transformer Label Lines reconstructs names and addresses from the outputs of the Customer Data Parser and Postal Matcher to generate properly formatted name and address labels.
7. Select the Include Geocoding when adding new countries option if you have purchased the Geocoder libraries and would like to enrich your address data by identifying latitude and longitude coordinates for the address. Note that the U.S. Postal Matcher has an option to provide latitude and longitude data so U.S. projects do not use the Geocoder.
8. Click Next. The Configure Outputs window opens.
9. Select the output option you want to apply to this project. (These options apply to the countries you are adding only; you cannot change the setup of a country that is already in the project.)
   • Create output entity for each country. This is the default. When selected, the Global Data Router creates an output entity for each country in the project except the basic countries that are using the ZZ template. (For those countries, the process creates a flow and a single output entity.)
   • Write identified country records to a single output entity. Select this option if you want the Global Data Router to create a single output file. The Router identifies the country associated with each record and adds that information in a new attribute, but it does not split the countries into separate files. No further processing is available when you choose this option. Proceed to Step 10.
10. By default, the Global Data Router creates a no-match output entity for all records that do not match the selected countries. Clear the Create nomatch output check box if you do not want to create this entity.
11. Select the Create flow for nomatch output check box if, in addition to the Router output entity, you want to create a Quality flow for unmatched countries.
12. If you selected Transformer Unified Output in Step 6, the Merge Country Flows option displays. If you want to merge the outputs from the Transformer Unified Output process into a single output, select this option. This will create a Merge/Split process (Multi-Country Merge). See Transformer Unified Output for details.
    Note: The Merge process (Multi-country Merge) is designed for batch only and cannot be deployed in a real-time environment. If a real-time project includes the Merge process, the process will be excluded when the project is deployed for use in real time.
13. If you want to create an entity group for each country flow, select Create Entity Group for Country Flows. This new entity group will be placed at the Global Data Router's output for each country.
14. Click Finish . The scheduler notification bar opens.
15. (Optional) Change the job name.
16. Do one of the following:
    • To schedule the job to run immediately, click Now. The message closes and the job begins running in the background.
    • Click Later. The Set Date & Time scheduler window opens. To immediately run the job in the background, click Run Now. To schedule a time, select a starting date on the calendar and select a time you want the job to run on the selected date. Click Submit to save the scheduled time.
    • Click Cancel to cancel the task.
    Note: All scheduled jobs are run in the background. Note the progress in the Background Tasks List View.
