Configuring the Address Verification stage to process address data
You specify the type of process that you want and define the detail level of the output information and the format of the output address data.
Before you begin
Create a job that includes a stage that contains input address data, the Address Verification stage, and a stage to receive the output data. You can use a file stage, a database stage, or a processing stage to contain the input or output data. For example, you might use a database stage for the input data and a sequential file stage for the output data.
To improve performance of the Address Verification
stage, sort the input data before you add the data to the job. Data
that is sorted at a granular level improves job performance more than
data that is sorted only at the country level. For example, to ensure
that the job runs as quickly as possible, you might sort input data
in the following order:
- By country
- By region or province
- By city
- By postal code
