Mark records after syndication

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is there a way to mark records after they get syndicated. We have a scenario where a record is syndicated to 3 destinatations. Everytime, a record is syndicated, we would like to store that information in a field. Apparently, we will have 3 fields.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Subhash,

In addition, this can be achieved with the help of Workflows but the only thing is you need to syndicate the records with the help of workflow.

The scenario would be like:

1. Create one Status field that will store the value indicating whether the record is syndicated or not.

2. Create the workflow like

Start --> Syndicate --> Assign

where Assign step consists of assignment which updates the status field. You need to design the workflow based on your requirement.

How do I create Port in this case? it is same port as ports in Admin tables on Console?

Hi Subhash,

Yes, you will have to cretae the ports in the Ports Tables Under the Admin node of the Repository.

You will have to create an Outbound Map in the Syndicator and then mention the same map in the Port properties( for the port you have created)

You will then have to mention the port in the Syndicate step.

Hope it helps.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Subhash,

Yes it is the same port we create in MDM Console under Ports table. You need to pass the map name that you have created for the same Remote System and Port's Processing Type should be set to Manual otherwise port will not be visible in the Syndicate step.

You can use the Syndicate stencil in the Workflow to syndicate the records. After syndicate step use an assignment step to populate any dummy value to a field, which will help you to store some information telling that the records have been syndicated.

Every record will then have some value in that Field.

Start->Process->Syndicate->Assign->Stop

Syndicate step will ask you a Port where you can assign a port and a map to the port.

This process can be done 3 times for 3 remote systems or else you can follow

Start->Process->Syndciate1->Assign1->Syndicate2->Assign2->Syndicate3->Assign3->stop

This is just an example, howver you can use something similar to achieve your requirement.

Hope it helps.

Hi Subhash,

- There is an option in MDM syndicator ->map properties->suppress unchanged records

- After a record gets syndicated to a remote system once this propery causes the record to get suppressed within MDM syndicator and not allow them to be syndicated again untill they are changed

- Ofcourse this will not mark the records taht are syndicated but however will gray them out which can make them identifiable.

Hope It Helped,

Thanks & Regards
