The purpose of the Source Values feature
is to establish a standardized approach to store and retrieve information,
or values, that come from external sources when the attributes of
those values do not fit the structure of IBM® WebSphere® products.
The Source Values feature
allows you to identify the external source system, application, or
user that provided the value. It also stores the date the value was
collected, as well as a history of the source that provided the value
and the date when that value changes.
The
Source Values System
adds, updates, and gets the following information within
InfoSphere® MDM
Custom Domain Hub:
- the source system, application, or user-that provided the specified
function details. For example, privacy/preference, campaign, and others
- the date when the information was collected
- a history of the source and source date
The
Source Values System
is used as part of several function areas within
InfoSphere MDM
Custom Domain Hub.
The
Source Values System
works with any entity and it is also included in the specific function
transaction. For example, when a change is made to privacy preference,
the
Source Values System
is a part of the function transaction. The
Source Values System
is required in the following function areas:
- Privacy/Preference
- Campaigns
