The Global Data Router uses the following rules files to determine country of origin:
- Global rules table. This table defines rules that apply to all countries. It contains translation tables, street types, city definitions, and other rules that require lengthy entries. The default table is rtrules1.win/unx.
- Country rules table. This table defines rules that apply to all countries and specific countries. It contains weight parameters and detailed country-specific entries. The default table is rtrules2.win/unx.
- City changes file.The city changes file specifies characters and words used for enhanced city name table lookup. The default city changes file is city_changes.tbl. For more information, see City Changes File.
You can control decisions, such as how data is matched and what country data is identified, by specifying the parameters that create the rules in the tables. The default file is stored in: C:/Program Files/Trillium Software/MBSW/17/tsq/tables/general_resources.
The Global Data Router provides an option to write out errors in the rules tables. To enable this option, go to the Output Settings tab and select the Output Rules Echo File check box.
You may also use the Customer Rules File which allows you to add your own user-defined rules. See Specifying Data Router Advanced Settings.
