Working With the Master Index Data Manager

Performing a Local ID Lookup

To search for an object profile by its local ID in a specific system, you need to enter search criteria in the Local ID section of the Lookup page. This type of search should result in only one matching profile. If the Local ID field contains alphabetic characters, the criterion is case-sensitive.


Note –

The name of this section might have been modified for your implementation. See your system administrator for more information.
