Assign Identity Action

The Assign Identity action allows you to identify an external key and map it to the internal key.

If the data that is being imported does not have PRODUCTID and PRODUCTIDEXT, use the Assign Identity action.

The Assign Identity action can also be used when data is modified from web services or from User Interface. However, the assign identity rule should only be used when data is being saved for the first time, that is when MDM has not already assigned an identity and product key to it.

If Assign Identity rule is used during new record creation, and any existing matching record is found, the add will be rejected as duplicate. The assign Identity rule does not work with SaveRecord activity in workflow as product ID and Ext are required for this activity to merge the incoming data with existing data.

To define an Assign Identity action, select the

Assign Identity action icon from the palette and drop it in the appropriate (Else or Then) Action container.
