In the Consolidation (Staging) object, the column with Additional Column Qualifier, Merge Status Indicator, is set internally after executing the specified survivorship rule. The value is one of the following:
Merge Complete. When
Survivorship Type is Default /
Integration Server and the cleansing status is Create Gold or Link Gold. The reference value for the merge status is 1.
Manual Merge Pending. When
Survivorship Type is Manual. The column set with
Additional Column Qualifier, Data Quality Steward Group, is populated with the Data Quality Steward Group value given at notification configuration. The reference value for the merge status is 2.
Manual Match Pending. When the cleansing status is Cleansed. This occurs when the match is not identified automatically according to the user action. The column set with
Additional Column Qualifier, Data Quality Steward Group is populated with the Data Quality Steward Group value given at notification configuration. The reference value for the merge status is 3.
After executing the selected Survivorship rules, depending on the value of the column with the Additional Qualifier as Merge Status Indicator, the records are sent to the Data Quality Inbox of the specified recipient in case some manual action is required further to complete the process.
