Support for Mutation while Modifying Records

When you modify records through UI, you can use the Mutation feature.

The process of changing the record ID or record ID extension of a record is called mutation. In this process, the record identity is changed. Mutation allows ID or extension to be corrected during the entire span of a record. The ID or extension pair assigned to an active record cannot be assigned to another record even when an ID or extension pair is mutated.

Mutation is also supported for the following options:

  • Record modification through web services
  • Record modification through rulebase (using EvaluateRulebase activity)
  • MergeRecord activity

    For information on the Record Add/Modify web service, see the Web Services Guide and for information on the EvaluateRulebase activity and the MergeRecord activity, see Workflow Reference and Customization Guide on TIBCO MDM product documentation page.
