Web Services allow third-party systems to integrate with STEP data. A Web Service Endpoint is a setup entity that can be used to parameterize STEP web services built to receive request data and transmit response data. For more information on the Matching and Merging Web Service Endpoint, refer to the Match and Merge Web Service Endpoint section of the Configuring Match and Merge topic in the Matching, Linking, and Merging documentation here.
Note: The Find Similar and Match & Merge Web Service is using an internal caching mechanism for validation rules, standardization, and matching. It can take up to five (5) minutes before this cache is updated, which is important to keep in mind when making configuration changes.
