Thanks for Input.For Dictionary file what is meant by business, matching, and reporting fields

Hi,

Just a textual description ('Documentation') of the intent for those output columns.

Robert

The Business Intelligence fields are typically derived from the input and are likely to be transferred through to final output.

The Matching fields are more likely to be used to drive Matching and are unlikely to be transferred through to final output.

The five Reporting fields give insight as to how well the Standardization is working, and are typically used to tune the Rule Set to make it work in a more accurately targeted fashion.
