Unmerging Object Profiles on the MIDM

If object profiles are merged in error, the profiles can easily be separated by unmerging the profiles. When you unmerge object profiles, the information is returned to the original profiles, the source records are returned to their original profiles, and any changes that were made after the merge are retained. Any source records that were added while the profiles were merged are associated with the profile that was active at the time. After you unmerge object profiles, verify that the source records were distributed correctly in the resulting records.

To Unmerge Object Profiles

1. In the MIDM tabbed headings, click Transactions.

2. Perform a search for the object profiles to unmerge.

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

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

   Caution –

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