When integrating with external systems, the 'entities/find-similar' REST API V2 web service can prevent users from creating duplicate objects in source systems.
This functionality requires:
-
A web service endpoint, as defined in the Web Service Endpoint - Find Similar topic in the Data Exchange documentation here.
-
A standard matching algorithm with match codes and match criteria, as defined in Configuring Matching Algorithms topic here.
Complete documentation for web services functionality is at [system]/sdk or by clicking the STEP API Documentation button on the Start Page. On the STEP API Documentation page, click the link under the REST API V2 heading.
For use case examples, see the Find Similar Web Service topic in Customer MDM Solution Enablement documentation here.
