Map Columns to Composite Domains
A composite domain consists of two or more single domains. You can map multiple columns to the domain, or you can map a single column with delimited values to the domain.
When you have multiple columns, you must map a column to each single domain in the composite domain to apply the composite domain rules to data cleansing. You select the single domains contained in the composite domain, in the Data Quality Client. For more information, see Create a Composite Domain.
When you have a single column with delimited values, you must map the single column to the composite domain. The values must appear in the same order as the single domains appear in the composite domain. The delimiter in the data source must match the delimiter that is used to parse the composite domain values. You select the delimiter for the composite domain, as well as set other properties, in the Data Quality Client. For more information, see Create a Composite Domain.
