Working With the EDM for Sun Master Index

Adding a System Record to an Object Profile on the EDM

If an object has local IDs in addition to those already recorded in the master index application, you can add the local IDs to the object’s profile by adding a system record to the profile. To add a local ID to an object profile, you need to specify information such as the system that assigned the local ID, certain parent-object information, and the local ID itself. When you add a system record to an object profile, the survivor calculator determines what changes, if any, should be made to the SBR.

You cannot add a new local ID and system pair to an object profile if that same local ID and system pair already exists in another object profile.
