Testing Address Cleansing Operations

To load the proper paths to the Loqate components, ensure to restart the Omni-Gen Controller and all Omni-Gen services after Loqate is installed. This section uses sample data for demonstration purposes only.

  1. Log on to Omni Governance Console (OGC).
  2. Click the Workbench tab.
  3. From the table, select the address (addr) attribute column, and then expand the rules panel, as shown in the following image.
  4. Click Add Rule, as shown in the following image.

    The Rules dialog opens, as shown in the following image.

  5. Click Add complex operation.
  6. Click Cleanse US Address, as shown in the following image.
  7. Map the parameters and add all tags for testing purposes, as shown in the following image.
  8. Click Save to save the operation.
  9. Click Execute rules, as shown in the following image.

    While the process is running, a message displays indicating that the rules are locked, as shown in the following image.

    When a rule has completed execution, a corresponding success message is displayed, as shown in the following image.

  10. Close the dialog or wait for the dialog to automatically close.

    The data in the table is refreshed.

  11. Expand the chart located at the top using the drop-down arrow, as shown in the following image.
  12. Click Tags, as shown in the following image.
  13. Click Individual, as shown in the following image.

    From here you can confirm that the address cleansing operation ran successfully, since tags are being created.

  14. Click Tags to filter the results.

Note: The initial results are going to be poor due to the country not being part of the 3-digit ISO standard. Adding country cleansing to ISO3 would greatly improve the results.
