Match & Merge Java API

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a requirement wherein we need to match and merge records from 4 systems.

I am aware that we can match via Workflow but I am unaware of how to use Merge APIs.

I feel the best approach would be to use Java API to match the records first and then use this result set as an input to Merge APIs. I am kind of confused whether this approach is correct?

If someone can guide me on this by debating on the approach as well as some code examples for both Match and merge, I would be very greateful.

Regards,

Dev.

Thanks for the reply.

But I have already gone through these.

I am little bit doubtful as to how to maintain key mappings for these systems via Merge API. Little bit detailed insight into these APIs will be helpful.

Also, whether the approach is right or not: Form a standalone Java Application to first match and then somwhow pass this different resultset (match sets) to Merge API to merge these and to maintain their key mappings programatically.

Need to knopw this approach's feasibility.. inputs are highly appreciated!
