Unmerging Source Records on the MIDM

If two source records are merged in error, the records can easily be separated by unmerging the two source records. When source records are unmerged, the source record that became inactive is reactivated and, if the source record was merged from a different object profile, it is returned to its original profile. The SBR is recalculated for all affected object profiles. Any changes made to the surviving source record following the merge are retained after the unmerge transaction.

ProcedureTo Unmerge Two Merged Source Records

  1. Perform a search for the transaction to unmerge.

    For information about the search fields on this page, see About Transaction History Search Fields on the MIDM.

  2. Select a transaction to unmerge from the search results list.

    Note –

    This must be a system object merge transaction.

    Figure 65 Unmerge Page

    Figure shows the unmerge system object page.

  3. Review the displayed system records and profiles to verify the system records should be unmerged.

    Caution – Caution –

    If you are unmerging system records that were merged in a transaction that included three or four records, only the last two system records that were merged will be unmerged. The remaining records cannot be unmerged.

  4. At the bottom of the page, click Preview Unmerge.

    A preview of the unmerged record appears.

  5. Verify the preview, and then click Unmerge.

    Tip –

    To preview the source records involved in the transaction, click View Sources beneath the SBRs you want to view.

  6. On the confirmation dialog that appears, click OK.
