1) Can Mask functionality be used for determining which BP records exist in R/3?
Ans. There is no need for a mask to be generated, as Syndicator can filter records to be sent according to the Agency and remote key stored within MDM. The “suppress records without key” option needs to be set to “Yes”.
2) Can a mask be recreated automatically from a saved search selection criteria?
Ans. This is not currently supported. Records can be hidden per role using “constraints” functionality in the console.
3) Can MDM send only changed fields and data and not the whole record?
Ans : There are two possible answers to this.
1. If you are extracting changed data through the API, you can set the timestamp field to change only when your key fields change. This will allow you to select only those records whose changes need to be sent to R/3.
2. Using the Syndicator you can use the timestamp technology in calculated fields or set up the relevant search criteria in the Syndicator to select only those records that have relevant changes
