IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management, Version 11.3

Pluggable keys

Pluggable keys provide a single point of entry for defining the primary key for a record into a database table. You can use your own implementation to create the primary key on specific tables or on all tables

Each record in the InfoSphere® MDM database for operational data such as contact, product, and address, is identified by a single primary key. The primary key can be generated by one of three methods:

by using the default key generator that comes with InfoSphere MDM
by plugging in a custom key generator
by passing a primary key with the object in the service request, known as a pluggable primary key

InfoSphere MDM also provides a framework to generate various types of keys such as party identifiers; this is known as the key generation framework.
