Smart Matching

With Smart Matching you can analyze the source and target document. After analyzing you can map large or complex mappings with automated mappings that are based on preset criteria set by the user. Smart Matching is enabled by default. Smart Matching performs analysis of the source document to find matches based on probability of matches to the target. Smart Matching processes the XSD of the source and target documents into Xpath statements. Matches are made based on the relative XPaths and the end element data type throughout the document. You can select the partial probability of a match to be included in the mapping or the full probability. This is used in determining which matches to include within the mapping. Using partial probability includes more matches from outside of the 1:1 matching scope. This is useful where the structure between the documents is different. The partial probability is selected by default. You can select to use the full probability, 100%, to match two documents directly as 1:1 match.

Smart Matching matches are the dashed connection lines between the source and the target documents.
