tRecordMaching - MATCHING_DISTANCES/MATCHING_WEIGHT cannot be resolved or is not a field

[TTyagi1689278167]

I am trying to use tRecordMatching to block on the same id numbers in the main flow and lookup flow of data then match the names in the name columns of the two datasets. However, I am finding a MATCHING_DISTANCES/MATCHING_WEIGHT cannot be resolved or is not a field error in the code. The schema is not propagating correctly for some reason. Can anyone please provide some guidance on how this can be solved?

Hello,

Going to add my response from our Support case for the community's reference:

• The error MATCHING_DISTANCES cannot be resolved or is not a field is due to the tRecordMatching output schema. Please add at least one more column along with MATCHING_DISTANCES & MATCHING_WEIGHT to make the component valid.
• Here is a link showing an example of how to use this component to match records:https://help.talend.com/r/en-US/8.0/data-matching/matching-entries-using-q-grams-and-levenshtein
