Enable Attribute Source Tracking Setting

Controls whether the attribute-level change by source system is tracked. This tracking is required for survivorship processes that use source confidence configuration to determine which attribute values in a duplicate set are ultimately written onto the master record. The underlying profile option is ZCH_ENABLE_SURVIVORSHIP.

Consider these points:

  • The 'Use source confidence with oldest record as the tiebreaker' and 'Use source confidence with newest record as tiebreaker' attribute selection options require Attribute Source Tracking to be enabled.

  • Attribute selection options that use Oracle Business Rules can be used without enabling Attribute Source Tracking but those rules can't access source confidence values.

  • Once enabled, Enable Attribute Source Tracking can't be disabled because breaks in the source tracking history invalidate source confidence-based logic.
