UCM Contact Batch Data Management Workflow

This workflow cleanses and matches contact data. Based on the quality of the data, the workflow marks the record as requiring a review or inserts the record into the base tables for publishing.

NOTE:  With the release of Oracle Customer Hub (UCM) version 8.2 (Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.6), Batch Data Management (BDM) Workflows (UCM Account Batch Data Management Workflow for loading accounts and UCM Contact Batch Data Management Workflow for loading contacts) used for Bulk Loading of data into UCM were deprecated in favor of the UCM Batch Process Workflow. The UCM Batch process provides the flexibility to modify the batch size (the default value is 10) thereby providing performance benefits. It is recommended that you migrate from the BDM Workflow to the UCM Batch Workflow. BDM Workflow will no longer be part of Oracle Customer Hub (UCM) releases from Oracle Customer Hub (UCM) version 8.2 (Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.6) and later. If you are using either BDM Workflow from previous patch releases, such as Oracle Customer Hub (UCM) version 8.2 (Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.5) or earlier, then you may continue to use the functionality. BDM Workflow will no longer be supported as of September 2012, and you will be directed to UCM Batch Workflow for future use. Further, BDM Workflow is not supported for use with Oracle Customer Hub (UCM) version 8.2.x or with new features added to Oracle Customer Hub (UCM) version 8.2.
