System Records

System records are different from the SBR in that each system record contains a system and local ID pair and only contains data from a specific system. The information in the system records of an object profile is used to determine the best value for the SBR in that profile. If an object profile only contains one system record, the SBR will be identical to that system record. However, if an object profile contains multiple system records, the SBR might be identical to one system record but will more likely include a combination of information from all system records. Certain actions against a system record will cause the SBR to be changed, such as updating, deactivating, or merging a system record. Each active object profile must have at least one active system record. If all system records in a profile are deactivated, then the entire profile will also be deactivated.
