IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface

Introduction to IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface
High-quality address data is a critical part of doing business. Organizations that do business in multiple countries or regions must maintain the quality of address data across different postal standards and languages. IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface includes a stage that provides processes that can organize, verify, and transform address data.

Scenario: Improving international address data
You can use IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface to improve the quality of your address data without you needing to become an expert in international postal standards.

Installing
IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface is an additional product module that you install. It must be used with IBM InfoSphere QualityStage.

Parsing, validating, and transliterating address data
You can configure the Address Verification stage to parse or validate address data. The stage also transliterates the data. You configure the stage in the IBM InfoSphere DataStage® and QualityStage Designer client.

Status codes and other informational output
The Address Verification stage status codes indicate how an address was validated or modified during processing. In your output columns, you can view return status codes that result from processing your data.

Errors
Some error conditions cause the stage to stop processing. When one of these conditions occurs, the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Director job log view displays the error.
