I have to design a job in which the source contains 1 million of addresses and the target should be the validated addresses from the source.

For this validation

source----->cass----->standardization----->target

or
Source------>standardization--------->cass------->target

please let me know which should be followed in the above ways or any suggestions!!

Second step
Source------>standardization--------->cass------->target
is correct.

Thanks for the information!!

CASS does the standardization of address and If the input has a name then name should be standardized with standardize stage.

If the case is the input has only address1,address2,city,state,zip
Do I need standardize stage or Just the CASS stage?


any info please?

CASS stage only. Also study the tutorial job for CASS under the installation folder. Its input source, Excel spread sheet, has exactly the fileds that you specified.

No, it's in e.g. C:\is-ia-suite\TutorialData\QualityStage.

Sorry, I have been away from QS especially using CASS for too long. As you said in QualityStage folder, it contains all other stages except the CASS stage. That brings back the memory, actually the tutorial job for CASS is contained in the .tar file for CASS.

Searched all the files but no luck.

I looked into a folder named IS_CASS Files in C:\ but did not find the job.

There are .tar files named CASSDBM1,CASSDBM2...and so on...untared them but cannot see any .dsx file.
