Excluding merged records from syndication (MDM 7.1)

[former_member381469]

Hi All ,

I have the following business requirement. We're implementing SAP MDM 7.1 for a client. MDM is used to consolidate data from around 6 systems. Matching strategies are used to identify matches and the relevant records are merged. However, when data is syndicated back to the source systems, there is a requirement that some of the source system do not want the merged records back. That is, they only want harmonized data from MDM, excluding records which were created as a result of merge operations. Is this possible within standard MDM functionality? If yes, how? And if not, what kind of customization might be required?

Thanks

Hi Lavanya

1 possible workaround can be:

to differentiate between merged record and any other normal record introduce 1 more field in data model for say " record Origin". for each merged record you can maintain a flag or value. After merging records in data manager ask the user to fill this field.

During syndication in the map put a filter for this field to exclude all such merged records.

best regards
