Method Detail

getDelegateMap

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> getDelegateMap()

Specified by:

getDelegateMap in interface LinkageConfiguration

Returns:

Map of named delegate objects for internal use by a LinkageEngine during setup or runtime

getBlockingConfigurationList

public java.util.List<BlockingConfiguration> getBlockingConfigurationList()

Specified by:

getBlockingConfigurationList in interface LinkageConfiguration

Returns:

A list of BlockingConfiguration objects that will be used to limit the number of records used from a LinkageDataSource.

getMatchingConfigurationList

public java.util.List<MatchingConfiguration> getMatchingConfigurationList()

Specified by:

getMatchingConfigurationList in interface LinkageConfiguration

Returns:

A list of MatchingConfiguration objects that will be used by a LinkageEngine to match records.

getPositiveMatchCutoffScore

public java.lang.Float getPositiveMatchCutoffScore()

Specified by:

getPositiveMatchCutoffScore in interface LinkageConfiguration

Returns:

The lowest score value for a LinkageMatch to be considered a positive match.

setPositiveMatchCutoffScore

public void setPositiveMatchCutoffScore(java.lang.Float positiveMatchCutoffScore)

getNegativeMatchCutoffScore

public java.lang.Float getNegativeMatchCutoffScore()

Specified by:

getNegativeMatchCutoffScore in interface LinkageConfiguration

Returns:

The lowest score value for a LinkageMatch to be considered an indeterminate match if the score is less than the value returned by LinkageConfiguration.getNegativeMatchCutoffScore()

setNegativeMatchCutoffScore

public void setNegativeMatchCutoffScore(java.lang.Float negativeMatchCutoffScore)

getLinkageEngineClassName

public java.lang.String getLinkageEngineClassName()

Specified by:

getLinkageEngineClassName in interface LinkageConfiguration

Returns:

The class name of a LinkageEngine. Used by a LinkageController to create and initialize a LinkageEngine instance.

setLinkageEngineClassName

public void setLinkageEngineClassName(java.lang.String linkageEngineClassName)

setUseSecondaryDataSourceForUnmatchedRecords

public void setUseSecondaryDataSourceForUnmatchedRecords(boolean useSecondaryDataSourceForUnmatchedRecords)

useSecondaryDataSourceForUnmatchedRecords

public boolean useSecondaryDataSourceForUnmatchedRecords()

Specified by:

useSecondaryDataSourceForUnmatchedRecords in interface LinkageConfiguration

Returns:

true if the secondary data source should be used for unmatched records, otherwise unmatched records will be from the primary data source. The default behavior should be true.
