Issue/Introduction

 In Top Secret what is the difference between CAISEC.CIA_FILTER_MATCH and CAISEC.CIA_RESOURCE_MATCH?

 

 

Resolution

The FILTER_MATCH function makes calls to the RESOURCE_MATCH function to return rows from the PERMXREF table in the data base. FILTER_MATCH has some additional filtering logic that is needed by ACF2.

There is no additional filtering logic needed for CA Top Secret so both functions create the same output. For sites running Top Secret, we recommend only using RESOURCE_MATCH.
