Multiple new algorithms are provided to expand fuzzy matching capabilities. For more information, see Duplicate Clusters (Fuzzy Matching). • Retaining the source order - A new source property enables users to preserve the order of the source data when it is written to the targets defined in a profile. For more information, see Setting Data Profile Preferences and Creating a Profile Using Data Profile Wizard. • Improved logging - Improved logging to the Results tab during Data Profile execution. With these enhancements, users will receive real-time progress and status updates in the console of Data Profiler.
