MDM Workflow - Split jobs for Adds and Updates

[Former Member]

I am trying to set up a workflow where the inbound file contains Adds and Updates. I want the Adds to get added to a new workflow and the updated records to split off into a separate workflow branch where they will be automatically processed.

Any ideas on how to split these records?

Have a Status field in the data model. This status field will have "Add" or "Change" as the possible values.

When record gets added, you set this flag to "Add".

When record gets changed, you set this flag to "Change".

Have a validation step. for Record = Add.

If the validation passes, then it is a "Add scenario". Use the branch step for the validation success branch and the validation failure branch.

You should now have two branches one for add and the other for change.

Hi ,

one idea will be to make 2 maps . one for new records to create and keep update option as blank . in another map , dont create new records , only updates .

Now upload same file with both maps in seperate steps so it will create 2 workflows on them .

Hope someone can suggest a better idea .
