Abacus can be accessed either via a WebService or directly on the database. Using the indices does not provide the optimal results in all use cases. We recommend to realize the search via Generic SQL.

abaconnect 2014

Calls the Abacus Webservices interface http://www.abacus.ch/abaconnect/2007.10. Via the abaconnect interface, address data can be retrieved via indices. In OneOffixx the number of indices and the query can be configured. However, it must be ensured that the same indices are also available in Abacus. Otherwise the query will fail.

abaconnect requests all fields. For example, if the name is omitted in index 4, all entries starting from AAAA are returned.

Generic SQL Provider

The Generic SQL Provider tries to detect if the address is private or business based on the first name.
