Configuring the components

Procedure

Define the first tFixedFlowInput in its Basic settings view.
In this example, you use the following input:
```
FirstName;Name
Brad;Los angeles
Jason;New York
Margaret;
Kourtney;Seattle
Nicole;Saint-Louis
John;Denver
```
Define the schema of the component. In this example, the input schema has two columns: FirstName and City.

Define the second tFixedFlowInput.

In this example, you use the following input:

FirstName;City
Brad;Los Angeles
Jason;New York
Margaret;Dallas
Courtney;Seattle
Nicole;Saint-Louis
Jon;Denver

Set the reference column as key column in the schema of the lookup flow.
Double-click the tFuzzyMatch component to open its Basic settings view, and check its schema.
The Schema should match the Main input flow schema in order for the main flow to be checked against the reference.

Note that two columns, Value and Matching, are added to the output schema. These are standard matching information and are read-only.
Select the method to be used to check the incoming data. In this example, Levenshtein is the Matching type to be used.
Set the distance.
In this method, the distance is the number of char changes (insertion, deletion, or substitution) that needs to be carried out in order for the entry to fully match the reference.

In this example, you set both the minimum distance and the maximum distance to 0. This means only the exact matches will be output.
Clear the Case sensitive check box.
Select the matching column and look up column. The first name in this example.
Leave the other parameters as default.
