VeriMove

The architecture of VeriMove is designed for robust address validation and correction on the z/OS platform. The main components include: 1. **Input Processor**: This component reads and validates input data from specified datasets.

It checks for data format compliance and performs initial data cleansing. 2. **NCOA Interface**: This is the core component that interfaces with the USPS NCOA database.

It performs address matching and correction based on the NCOA data. The interface handles the communication protocols and data exchange with the USPS database. 3.

**Address Standardization Engine**: This component standardizes addresses according to USPS standards. It ensures that addresses are formatted correctly for optimal deliverability. 4.

**Output Writer**: This component writes the corrected and standardized addresses to output datasets. It handles the formatting and organization of the output data. These components communicate through a series of batch jobs and JCL steps.

Data is passed between components via datasets. The system uses VSAM and sequential datasets for data storage. Network requirements include connectivity to the USPS NCOA database, typically over a secure connection.

The primary administrative interface is through JCL and configuration files. User management is handled through z/OS security mechanisms. Configuration parameters include dataset definitions, NCOA processing options, and logging levels.

Monitoring is achieved through system logs and output reports. Compared to competing products, VeriMove offers direct integration with the USPS NCOA database and robust z/OS compatibility.
