Hi Yogesh

MDM is used for consolidation of master data. We can have duplicates from different remote ssytems or even the same system. Each record has a unique remote key associated and when we merge duplicate records the key mappings are retained in MDM edit key mapping.

Default key mapping is used for syndication in MDM. this can be manually changed also. So in the above example suppose for 3 records which have been merged into 1, merged record will have 3 remote keys and the one with default key will be selected for syndication.

Default remote key check box is used to select 1 record among multiple merged records from same remote system.

if you get 2 or more duplicate records from 1 source systems, then only 1 record out of them can have default remote key check box.

an MDM object may map to multiple keys from the same remote system. When an MDM object maps to multiple keys, one of the keys is marked as the default key. The default keys the one that is used when syndicating a reference to the mapped MDM object.

For example, for a particular remote system, the two color objects Light Red and Dark Red both map to the MDM object Red. An MDM product object Shirt has a Color attribute set to Red. When this Shirt object is syndicated back to the remote system, the default key is used to choose the value to syndicate from the two objects Light Red and Dark Red.

This is fine . I just wanted to know if we can use default keys to filter during syndication & send only those default keys .

Is it possible during syndication?
