Frequently Asked Questions

Most Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is it possible to hide certain fields and their values (depending on profile)?

Ans. The MDM security mechanism allows you to define constraints to be used for display and hide field values in MDM Data Manager Client. Currently the MDM capabilities do not allow you to entirely hide fields upon a constraint setting. However, you can use the APIs for building a User Interface to allow display/hide of fields and attributes as required

2) Is it possible to trigger external processes depending on type of errors raised, for example alert management functionality?

Ans. Currently an extended error handling with follow up processing is not on the roadmap. However, the usage of MDM Expression Language needs to be evaluated for this usage.

3) MDM stores change history in a separate database which can track the selected fields in any table, the before and after state of a record for that field and the user performing the change. As a result, if you activate too many fields or have frequent updates to the same field, you experience performance problems. How can I better manage this?

Ans : Limit the number of fields to be tracked to the minimum required. Establish an archive and purge procedure on the track changes log/database on daily basis to keep this database size to minimum, ensuring optimal performance.
