Deactivating a Profile or System Record on the EDM

If an object profile or system record is no longer active, you cannot delete the profile or record, but you can deactivate it. Once you deactivate a record, you can reactivate it if needed. Deactivating an object profile deactivates all system records associated with that profile and removes the potential duplicate listings for that profile. If you deactivate a system record, the survivor calculator determines what changes, if any, should be made to the SBR.

Deactivating an Object Profile

Deactivated profiles cannot be modified, and in some cases, cannot be viewed. If you deactivate a profile in error, you can reactivate it if needed.

Figure shows the View/Edit page with the Deactivate button for an EUID visible.

ProcedureTo Deactivate an Object Profile

  1. Using one of the search methods described in Searching for Object Profiles on the EDM, display the object profile you want to update on the View/Edit page.

  2. In the EUID tree in the left portion of the page, highlight the EUID number of the object profile.

  3. Click Deactivate EUID=EUID_number, where EUID_number is the EUID of the object profile to deactivate.

  4. In the upper right section of the page, click Commit.

    The profile is deactivated in the database and the EUID appears in fuchsia with a tilde (~) next to it.

Deactivating a System Record

If an existing local ID for an object becomes obsolete, you can deactivate the system record with that local ID for the object profile. An object profile must have at least one active local ID; if you deactivate an object’s last active system record, the entire profile is deactivated. When you deactivate a system record from an object profile, the survivor calculator determines what changes, if any, should be made to the SBR.

ProcedureTo Deactivate a System Record

  1. Using one of the search methods described in Searching for Object Profiles on the EDM, display the object profile you want to modify on the View/Edit page.

  2. In the EUID tree in the left portion of the page, expand Source Systems, and then select the system and local ID of the system record you want to deactivate.

  3. Click Deactivate system-ID, where system is the system name and ID is the local ID number for the system record you want to deactivate.

  4. Click Commit.

    The page refreshes and the SBR is recalculated based on the new information.
