Understanding Sun Master Index Configuration Options (Repository)

Modifying the Best Record File

You can customize the configuration of the Update Manager by modifying the Best Record file. This file cannot be modified using the Configuration Editor; you need to modify the file directly. You can modify this file at any time, but it is not recommended after moving into production. The configuration controls how the SBR for each object is created, and modifying the file can cause discrepancies in how SBRs are formed before and after the modifications. It might also cause discrepancies in match results, since matching is performed against the SBR. You must regenerate the application and redeploy the project after modifying this file. The possible modifications to this file are restricted by the schema definition, so be sure to validate the file after making any changes.
