memComp Java™ example

Example code explores the capabilities of memComp.

// Create a member compare interaction object.
IxnMemCompare memComp     = new IxnMemCompare(ctx);

// Create member rowlists to hold input
// and output row(s).
MemRowList inpMemRows = new MemRowList();
MemRowList outMemRows = new MemRowList();

// Set the member type to one of the member types
// listed in mpi_memtype table.
memComp.setMemType("<member-type>");

// Set entity type to one of the entity types
// listed in mpi_enttype table.
memComp.setEntType("<entity-type>");

// Create two member objects to compare. The following
// two members are very much identical. So we get a high
// score.
// This member's attributes are Source No: 214
// EID : 1000000005, FirstName: Vidalia
// LastName: Garay-Deras, MiddleName: G.
MemHead memHead = new MemHead();
memHead.setSrcCode("FGH");
memHead.setMemIdnum("988608");
memHead.setEntRecno(0);
inpMemRows.addRow(memHead);

// This member's attributes are Source No: 217
// EID: 1000000005, FirstName: Vidalia
// LastName: Garay-Deras, MiddleName: D.
MemHead memHead2 = new MemHead();
memHead2.setEntRecno(0);
memHead2.setSrcCode("PHYS");
memHead2.setMemIdnum("145212");
inpMemRows.addRow(memHead2);
// This would execute the comparison on the input
// members and the output is stored in outMemRows.
if (memComp.execute(inpMemRows, outMemRows, KeyType.MEMIDNUM))
{
   // Print some internal details
   // of the comparison process.
   System.out.println(" CompareInfo: " + memComp.getCompareInfo());
   //Print the output rows.
   
   RowIterator rowIter = outMemRows.rows();
   
   while (rowIter.hasMoreRows())
   {
      MemRow memRow = (MemRow) rowIter.nextRow();
      
      if (memRow instanceof MemHead)
      {
         MemHead memHead3 = (MemHead) memRow;
        
         // The match score is located in the
         // MEMHEAD object returned in the output rowlist.
         System.out.print(" memRecno: " + memHead3.getMemRecno());
         System.out.print(" memSeqno: " + memHead3.getMemSeqno());
         System.out.print(" srcCode: "   + memHead3.getSrcCode());
         System.out.print(" memIdnum: "  + memHead3.getMemIdnum());
         System.out.print(" matchScore: " + memHead3.getMatchScore());
      }
      System.out.println();
   }
}

The resulting rows are stored in outMemRows upon successful completion of the interaction. The following shows the output:
