New Scenario of Mapping

[Former Member]

Dear MDM Followers.

We have following business requirement.How to map the same.

We want to send same material from 2 systems ( EC1 & TR3) but with different material numbers. Eg: DPC1001 in EC1 and KT1001 inTR3. While importing these data we have to do the duplicate check and merging. But while syndicating the merged record, material number DPC1001 should go to EC1 and KT1001 should go to TR3.Meanwhile a change occur in KT1001 of TR3 ,the same change should automatically happen in DPC1001 of EC1.

How to map the scenario.

Please help.

Hi Yogesh,

The step given by Srini is right,To make it more clear to you.

In MDM when you merge two records in to one record MDM does not delete one of the record.It adds a global key to both the records that are merged as one,the two individual records continue to exist under the edit key mapping in the MDM data manager with their local ids.

So if you wish to syndicate them back to their respective system you can do it under their local ids to their respective remote system or else you can send them with their global information to one single system like BI to produce consolidated results.

Hi yogesh,

you can map the business scenario, follow these steps:

1. In the console go to repository level, for the required table ( ex: main table), select the main table, and in the table detail you have KEY MAPPING property, there you change option to YES.

2. In the import manager, in the configuration options go to the IMPORT hierarchy level, there go to the option CHECKOUT / WORKFLOW and change the option to checkout.

3. When ever you do Import the records through import manager the records will be checked out and work flow will trigger.

4. In your scenario you found that DPC10001 and KT1001 are same and you merged into single record.

5. In Data manager select that merged record, right click , in the context menu select EDIT KEY MAPPINGS option, in the dialog box you can see the orginal records with the remote keys.

6. In SYNDICATOR, when ever you are syndicating the merged record it is having two original records with respective REMOTE KEYS. Based on these remote keys, those records will be syndicated to respective clients.

Hope this may help you
