Data Quality for name and address

Hello,
We have OWB10G and would like to use Name and Address operator. It seesm to me that we need to buy some Data Quality library from some 3rd party ( FirstLogic etc). Our client is not ready to pay money to buy these 3rd party libraries. How would we go and still be able to use Name and address operator.
I was in the impression that OWB has some builtin Data Quality libraries. Do we have to write some PL/SQL to clean , parse , match and merge data or it can be done using OWB? Why OWB does not have these libraries built-in.
Is there some freely available Data Quality tool?
Thanks
Suhail Ahmad

bump again,
Oracle used to have pure extraxt and integrate, could we use these libraries with OWB10G?

Installation guide for OWB 9.2 name and address

Hi,
May you show me where I can find the OWB 9.2 installation document for name and address cleaning software.
In the installation guide of OWB 9.2, it ask to refer to the installation instruction of software vendor. I am going to use the default vendor (Trillium, the same as OWB9.0.4), but I don't know where to find the installation instruction.
Thanks in advance,
Qiguang Wu

When do you get this message? It seems to be referring to the N&A server, but I would need to have more details. When you installed OWB, the installation program asked for the port (defaulting to 4040) where the N&A server would run. Th N&A server should be started automatically when a mapping containing a N&A operator is run. Otherwise, it is possible to start and stop the N&A server by running the NASstart.bat and NASstop.bat unde the <OWB home>/owb/bin/win32 directory (or the same .sh files in the unix directory).

How to make multi-box fields for name or address in a PDF form to be filled in?

I would like to know how to make fields for name and address in a PDF form.
I am now using Acrobat 8 Pro on Windows Vista. I have downloaded a form in the format of a PDF file. Basically it is just a file holding images of pages of the document, and there are no fields for me to type something on it using computer. This form will be used frequently by me, but I don't want to print it out and fill it in every time by hand. I want to fill it in in the computer and print copies of it when needed. The output will then be much more neat and tidy.
I have seen PDF forms with blanks for typing name and address, which means the form can be filled in on the computer before printing. They are special, as these blanks allow users to type name and address with every character occupying a box in the field, which consists of ten boxes or so. These are not ordinary textfields. I want to make similar inputting field as well.
Does anyone knows something about making these input fields with each character using 1 little box in the multi-box field? Any ideas are appreciated.

Does anyone knows something about making these input fields with each
character using 1 little box in the multi-box field?
Use text fields with the comb of x characters feature.

Data Quality , Name and address

I would like to know if someone has used Name and address functinality in OWB. I would like to clean our data and possibly link two or more record with one record and also would like to standardise the addresses such as Parkway to Pkwa, st. to street etc. Is this all possible in OWB? Could I use Name and address server to do all these?
While reading a FAQ on http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/htdocs/ORACLE92_WAREHOUSE_BUILDER_DQ_FAQ.htm , it seems to me that I need to buy some kind of data qulaity software from third party, am I right?
Thanks
Suhail

Syed,
Many OWB customers are using OWB's Name and Address, and Match-Merge capabilities to perform the tasks you described.
You are right, as the Data Quality FAQ states, Name and Address, while modelled in OWB at design time, requires third-party software at the run-time. That software is licensed separately (directly with third-party vendors, previously Oracle re-sold the third-party technology as an extra option to OWB). However, Match-Merge does not rely on any third-party technology.
There are introductory viewlets and self-paced exercises for both of these features at http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/htdocs/OTN_viewlet.html

Call Apple and ask for Account Security.

I have a form that has multiple fields but has 5 sections. I have used mail merge to insert information but I can't get Excel to recognize that I need different names and addresses for each section. Please help.

Thanks for your response. I do believe I have the information needed for each form on a separate line in Excel. There is a first name, middle name, last name, city, and zip column. And field is entered on a different line for all the information. I'm really stuck.

Name and Address operator's packge do not have any values

Hi All,
I am using the Name and Address operator, but I do not have/want the 3rd party vendor's connector/tool/data library to work with my OWB.
I developed the map and deployed that map into my target.
Package got generated of name NAME_ADDRESS
In this package the entry point is the MAIN function, in the main function taking one parameter p_env.
When I execute the Package from SQL*Plus I am getting the value of p_env, which is wrong, p_env can not be NULL/0 at any case.
All I want is, how to pass/populate the value into p_env parameter, there will be more than one value into that parameter, param_value varchar2(30)and param_name varchar2(4000).
But I know nothing about what are the values may be in , when I execute the package...
ALSO I AM ATTACHING SOME MORE DETAILS....
create or replace package
FUNCTION Main(p_env IN WB_RT_MAPAUDIT.WB_RT_NAME_VALUES) RETURN NUMBER IS
end package
In this main function, the p_env is getting Initialize, it calls the initialize
procedure, there directly getting count on this parameter.
my question is at what point of time these valiables get initialize and what
are the exact details for the followings
TYPE WB_RT_NAME_VALUE IS RECORD
param_name varchar2(30),
param_value varchar2(4000)
TYPE WB_RT_NAME_VALUES IS TABLE OF
WB_RT_NAME_VALUE
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
What are these two variables (param_name and param_value) implies in wb_rt_mapaudit package
ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

Gladson,
Page 8-73 of the Warehouse Builder user's guide explicitly highlights the following section:
Note: Taking advantage of the Name and Address operator requires separate licensing and additional installation steps. Refer to the Oracle9i Warehouse Builder Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.
The functionality that does the parsing and standardization is not part of Warehouse Builder, but part of the package that the software partner brings in. If you think about that, it actually makes sense. Would you expect Warehouse Builder to contain the code to perform this action for all countries across the globe, in all different languages and the like? The data vendors, who are the experts in the different areas, know this information.
So, if all you want to do, is parse and standardize an address, then yes, you may be better of going directly to a partner (having said that, you may get a discount if you are a Warehouse Builder customer, but that I do not know for sure).
However, what does Warehouse Builder add:
- Data object design (maybe your target tables don't exist) and deployment
- ETL design and code generation
- Process flow creation and deployment
- Execution management (automatic logging etc)
- Integration with Discoverer
- Metadata management, such as impact analysis, version management, multi language support...
- Much, much more.
Specific to name and address (or say data quality): if you include the name and address operator on a Warehouse Builder mapping, then you can plug in any partner library you want, and in case you find out that another partner delivers better results, then go with the other partner. At the end of the day, you abstracted the implementation from the design. That makes you much more flexible in your choice of a data vendor. Besides, you get impact analysis, lineage and lots of other metadata management features for free. On top of that, if you want to identify duplicates, perform householding and the like, then there is match and merge (which yes, is part of the tool and not a third-party implementation) in order to define the rules for matching and merging.
Again, if you don't need any of that, then perhaps you don't want the overhead of having all this and you go directly to a data vendor.
Hope this helps,
Mark.

Local characters in Name and Address Details

Hi,
For an Thailand Employee,
I need to print his Name from PA0182(Alternative Names) and the Adress Details from Pa0006 with a custom subtype 0026(Thailand Address).
The source of Name and Address is different if I want to do the same for a Taiwan PERNR.
Is there a way to dynamically determine the source of Data based on Country Grouping?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Suryakiran D.

Sorry for misreading your question!
In the view T588M, you can choose the infotype 0006 and subtype too it is probably already customized for Thailand!
There is probrably a feature with county grouping!
Just add the country grouping of taiwan to the one of thailand!

Question Regarding Name and Address Clensing

Hello,
Can someone help me with understanding the Name and Address Cleansing operatior of OWB.
I am currently using OWB Client 9.2.0.2.8
Before using the Name and Address operator should you do any configuration for it to function? Based on the viewlet which i tried there were no configuration steps and once i finished doing the steps in the demo there were rows inserted but with *null data.
Is Trillium packaged with the OWB or should you still purchase it?
Thank You

Thank you for the information Mark, I still have another question.
Here is my situation:
I have been tasked to integrate a 3rd party DQ ventor to the name and address cleansing operator of OWB. In relation to that I have downloaded the OracleAdaptorKit provided by Oracle for such development. The problem is I still dont really understand how the whole thing works. My understanding is that once you use the Name and Address operator in a Map and execute the it OWB will call the Name and Address Server which will trigger the Adaptor (which should be created by the vendor or me in this case) that will do the Parse() function based on the libraries of the 3rd party DQ vendor. Is my understanding correct?
My second question is on how will the Name and Address Engine call the Adaptor(JAVA applet?) which will use the Parse() function and what are the values that Name and Address Engine throw to the Adaptor? And how will you know if you have successfully created a connection between the Name and Address Engine and the Adaptor you created?
My third question is in regards to the components to be created. So given that the Name and Address Engine is by default installed with OWB does that mean that the only thing left to program are the Adaptor and Libraries?
I hope you can help me, Thank You

In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15485/labels-&-addresses
I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.
Regards.

How to auto populate numerous pdf files with same name and address?

I have numerous pdf files where a company's name and address will need to be entered onto each file. Would there be a way to enter this information once, say on an excel file or something, and then have this information auto populate all the correct fields in each and every pdf file I have to fill out. I am a complete rookie with Adobe Acrobat. At any one's convenience please let me know or point me in a direction where I can possibly learn this for myself. If Adobe offers this type of service please let me know which department to contact.
Thanks,
John

If you were an InDesign user, you could layout the document there, and use the Data Merge feature to bring in the names and addresses from Excel. Then create a PDF of the resulting file which could be split into individual PDFs.
There might be a way to do it similarly with Microsoft Word and Mail Merge.

How do I print a Thunderbird contact name and address on an postal envelope?

I want to select a Thunderbird contact and print the name and address directly on to a postal envelope for mailing.
I do not want to print a list of contacts or fiddle around with single labels. Yes, I can handwrite the details on the envelope but it is not ideal. I have tried LibreOffice>Writer>Envelope but it results in all contacts being included in the output document. Ditto for mail merge. I am running:
Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
LibreOffice Version: 4.2.7.2 Build ID: 420m0(Build:2)
Thunderbird 31.5.0
This should be such an obvious and simple thing. Please help.

How to send a group email where the recipients' names and addresses remain anonymous?

I wish to send out an email to a "Group" in my Apple Contacts. I want the several recipients in the group to be unknown to each other, where their names and addresses are invisible – except myself, the creater of the email.
Does Apple 'Mail' and/or 'Contacts' allow for this?
And, by keeping the group invisable, will this prevent any one recipient from responding as a 'Reply All,' thereby still being able to respond to everyone in the otherwise invisible group?
TOM

Put the addresses in the Bcc field. If it is not shown, select it from the button on the compose window:

I want to ask why my invoice lost header title..in my mac i can see my invoice title..but when i open file lost my office name and address on number

my invoice got my company name and address..when i see in my macbook can see the title..but when i open file to edit lost my title.many customer ask me why..
i just know lost title.i did't change other setting in my number..hope can gv me answer..last week i use still ok..now lost it.

Possible problem: You designed the invoice using Numbers '09 but you are now editing it in Numbers 3. The company name and address are in a page header or footer, something Numbers 3 does not have so it deletes it from the document.
Possible solution: Return to using Numbers '09. It should still be in the Applications forlder on your computer.
Another Possible Solution: Use a text box for your company name and address.
If you are trying to use Numbers 3, you might want to see if your invoice will print correctly (with or without the company name and address)

Scan to Email Error Message "cannot connect to server. check server name and address"

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
I've been using this printer for several months. Now am getting an ERROR message when I try to scan to email that it "cannot connect to server. check server name and address"
I'm not sure how to check this. We can all still print remotely via the internet connection.
Anyone have any ideas?
