Methods

getEntityType

Returns the entity type for this match result.

• String getEntityType()

Duplicates.MatchResult matchResult = dupResult.getMatchResults()?.get(0);
String entityType = matchResult?.getEntityType();

getErrors

Returns any errors that occurred during matching.

• List<Database.Error> getErrors()

if (!matchResult.isSuccess()) {
    for (Database.Error error : matchResult.getErrors()) {
        System.debug('Error: ' + error.getMessage());
    }
}

getMatchEngine

Returns the match engine used for this result.

• String getMatchEngine()

String engine = matchResult?.getMatchEngine();
System.debug('Match Engine: ' + engine);

getMatchRecords

Returns the matching records.

• List<Duplicates.MatchRecord> getMatchRecords()

for (Duplicates.MatchRecord matchRecord : matchResult.getMatchRecords()) {
    System.debug('Match: ' + matchRecord.getRecord());
}

getRule

Returns the rule name for this match.

• String getRule()

String ruleName = matchResult?.getRule();
System.debug('Rule: ' + ruleName);

getSize

Returns the number of matching records.

• Integer getSize()

Integer matchCount = matchResult?.getSize();
System.debug('Found ' + matchCount + ' matches');

isSuccess

Returns whether the match operation was successful.

• Boolean isSuccess()

if (matchResult?.isSuccess()) {
    System.debug('Match operation succeeded');
}

toDatacloudType

Returns the underlying native Datacloud.MatchResult instance.

• Datacloud.MatchResult toDatacloudType()

Datacloud.MatchResult nativeResult = matchResult?.toDatacloudType();

Example

Duplicates.FindDuplicatesResult result = DatabaseLayer.Duplicates.findDuplicates(account);
for (Duplicates.DuplicateResult dupResult : result.getDuplicateResults()) {
    for (Duplicates.MatchResult matchResult : dupResult.getMatchResults()) {
        System.debug('Rule: ' + matchResult.getRule());
        System.debug('Engine: ' + matchResult.getMatchEngine());
        System.debug('Matches: ' + matchResult.getSize());

        for (Duplicates.MatchRecord matchRecord : matchResult.getMatchRecords()) {
            System.debug('  Duplicate: ' + matchRecord.getRecord());
        }
    }
