Data Sources for Matching, Merging, and Linking Nodes

Data sources enable nodes from different business applications to be matched, merged, and linked for mastering purposes.  A registered data source is automatically created for each application in Enterprise Data Management.  Unregistered data sources can be set up for other external systems and files from which data is loaded.  An optional Data Source column in the request file format is used to identify the Data Source for each request item that is loaded.  A Default Data Source can be configured in a viewpoint load profile to load data from a particular source.

Business Benefit: Nodes from different data sources can be matched and merged to create master records and linked to provide traceability of information from source systems to target applications.
