compare records

[Former Member]

Hi,

Please help me on this.

I have two MDM records and need to compare the first with the second and if there is any difference w.r.t any one of the field data of second record from first record then I have to return those difference fields data of second record through my API.

For example:

Field1 Field2 Field3

Record 1: aa bb aac

Record 2: aab bb cdd

The output should be

Record2: aab cdd

Is there any compare command avaialble in MDM API (like RetrieveLimitedRecordsCommand etc) ???

so that I can avoid each field comparison after getting the records.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Hi Srini,

Sreenivasulu is correct that there is no compare command available in MDM API...

The alternative that you can follow is:

You can create a matching strategy depending on the scenario and then you can use MDM to execute this matching strategy and then call the matching strategy command ( available in MDM API) to compare the two records.

Hope it would help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi ,

Even though if you create matching strategy and executed, i think we can not retrieve the compare results with Java API. We can retrieve only Matching results through java api.

Hi,

I think there is no commands available to compare records. you need to write the programm on your own.
