By default, the Customer Data Parser is set to generate a separate output record for each name section found in an input record. For example, if an input record includes "Harry Smith" and "Mary Smith," the CDP generates two output records. If you prefer, you can set the CDP to create additional name sections, so that all names in an input record are stored in the same output record.
Specifying the names to write is a two-step process:
- Select the maximum number of name sections you want to write in each record, as well as the number of business and personal name sections you want to write.
- Modify the output schema to add output attributes for each name section you want to write. For information about adding name sections to the output of CDP, see Adding and Deleting Attributes.
- From the Navigation or Project View, right-click the Customer Data Parser process and select Edit Process.
- Select the Options menu option.
- On the right side of the options window, fill in the following fields:
