Hi,

Transformations do NOT change any existing record.

Transformations work only for the Matching Mode. They create "virtual" fields that can be used within a matching rule. You can recognize those fields by their name: they are named like your transformation and have an [XFM] as suffix.

Did you have a look at page 477 Matching Strategy Definition - transformations ?:of this doc:

https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700006291592006E

below in the same doc you will find more info about rules and strategies

hope this is what you're looking for....

Hi Priti,

you'll see those fields only in matching mode when creating a new matching rule. That's the only place where you can use the transformed fields.

Hello Priti,

Transformations allow you to create one or more transformed fields as

part of the matching process. A transformed field is a virtual field whose

values are based on normalizing and cleansing the values of an actual

field. The transformed field can then be referenced when defining

matching rules.

Transformations and transformed fields allow you to eliminate syntactic

differences in the data that might otherwise interfere with the matching

process and thereby prevent MDM from recognizing two semantically

equivalent values as being the same.
