How to increase the disagreement weight in matching

Hi

I am using unduplicate independent match specification for identifying unique customers.

i have given high negative weight over-rides on few column but still the output is not coming as expected.

Has any1 some idea of how m-prob and u-prob affect the agreement and disagreemnet weight for the matching columns. Does this thing supersede the weight over-rides?

Thanks in advance!

Weight overrides supersede the agreement/disagreement weights calculated using m-prob and u-prob. (That's why they're called overrides.)

"Not coming as expected" is singularly unhelpful to diagnosis. You will need to be much more specific, particularly in regard to precisely how you set things up, expected and actual results.
