Hi Yugandher,

Key mapping is the feature to trace the source and destination of a data in MDM. This is enabled by saying keymapping"YES"in console at the table level.For qualified field we can even give a key mapping range.

after key mapping is enabled,the values can be amapped to remote key at the time of importing and thus all the values can have remote key. Else in data manager we can asssign a remote key for each value manuaaly by right click>edit key mapping>add

In syndication also we can map the remote key to the value

you can refer to console reference guide/import manager ref guide available at market place.

Hi Yugandher,

Is your Question pertaining to Key generation in MDM or using the Remote key for importing and syndication in MDM?

Remote Keys are system specific uniques maintained in MDM while importing source records from different source system.You need to Enable key mapping in Console and then map the <Remote key> field to the unique key in Import manager and do similar mapping in syndicator as well.

You can view the key mapping for differnt records under the Edit key mapping (context menu) right clicking on any record.

To know more on this refer the below link:

For Key generation in MDM you can use the Qualified range property of Remote system in Console for Key genearation.However these keys will be genearted only after syndication and are created and assigned within MDM and not maintained from any source remote system.

Hope It Helped

Hi Ravi,

The below will halp you in understanding:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7051c376-f939-2b10-7da1-c4f8f9ee... (Key mapping)

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/30843106-5539-2b10-75a9-da483911... (Key mapping)

Basically, At Console : you need to Enable the Key mapping as Yes

At Import Manager : When you are importing data for the Main table or Lookup table records map Unique key field from the source side to the <Remote key> in the destination in MDM Import manager.

At Syndicator : Select the Remote system to ensure that you are sending the key mappings to the remote system. Again here map the value field (under remote key in the source) to the destination field for remote key.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Priti
