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.
