Retrieving the merge policy

You can retrieve the Global Configuration Record to see the current setting for the merge policy.

To retrieve the Global Configuration Record:

In a tool such as soapUI, access the Configuration Web Service on the Oracle Endeca Server for the data domain, as in this example for the "books" data domain:
```
http://web007:7001/endeca-server/ws/config/books?wsdl
```

Use the getGlobalConfigRecord operation to retrieve the Global Configuration Record via the Configuration Web Service, as in this example:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soap:Body>
      <config:configTransaction 
         xmlns:config="http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/config/services/types/2/0" 
         xmlns:mdex="http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/config/XQuery/2009/09">
         <config:getGlobalConfigRecord />
      </config:configTransaction>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

The results response from the Configuration Web Service should look like this example (the SOAP elements have been removed):

<config-service:results 
   xmlns:config-service="http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/config/services/types/2/0">
   <mdex:globalConfigRecord xmlns:mdex="http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/config/XQuery/2009/09">
      <mdex:record xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
         ...
         <mdex-config_Key type="mdex:string">global</mdex-config_Key>
         <mdex-config_MergePolicy type="mdex:string">balanced</mdex-config_MergePolicy>
         ...
      </mdex:record>
   </mdex:globalConfigRecord>
</config-service:results>

In this example, the merge policy is set to balanced for the Dgraph process of the Endeca data domain.
