The cleanse() method sends “dirty” data to a Director cleansing server and receives the “clean” (or enriched) data. Data is cleansed according to the business rules available to the target cleansing server during server startup.
Before you invoke the cleanse() method, you must use the attach() method to obtain a handle to the cleansing server.
