cmx.server.put.autopopulate.missing.user.columns.bo.list: Must be added manually. Set the property when the Nullable property is disabled for the base object columns.
When the Nullable property is disabled for columns, if a record is updated in Data Director or during a SIF PUT operation, a cross-reference record is created with values only for the updated fields. All the other cross-reference record fields, including the fields that must not be null, have null values. During the best version of the truth (BVT) calculation for the record, null values can be the winner for fields that must not be null, and an error occurs.
To ensure that the BVT calculation takes into account the fields that must not be null, set the property value to a comma-separated list of the names of base objects that have columns with the Nullable property disabled. When the property is set, the MDM Hub updates the null values in the cross-reference record with values from the associated base object. This ensures that during BVT calculation, null values are not the winner for fields that must not be null.

true
, and you want to enable the Cross-reference view, the History view, and the Matching Records view related to the Data Director with subject areas, set the
cmx.e360.match_xref.view.enabled
property to
false
.
If a MDM administrator implements the Entity 360 framework,
Data Director
users use the
Search
box to find records and entity tabs to edit and manage master data. In this case, you can hide the
Data
tab and related elements to avoid confusing users with similar functionality. For example, if you set
cmx.e360.view.enabled=true
, set
cmx.dataview.enabled=false
.
cmx.bdd.enable_url_authentication: Optional. Must be added manually. Enables authentication for URLs in

false
.
cmx.display.deployed.invalid.met.app: When the metadata for an Operational Reference Store is not valid,
Data Director
does not display the list of deployed applications. Applications that use a different, valid Operational Reference Store are also unavailable. To show the list of deployed applications, add this property and set it to

Search
box to find records and a entity tabs to edit and manage records. In a new installation, the default is
true
. When upgrading, if this property is set, the value remains set to the pre-upgrade value. If this property is not set, the default is

Data Director
applications:
New
tab, which opens the
New
window with business entities
Task Manager
tab to manage tasks
Search
tab with search results
Entity tabs to edit and manage business entity records. Entity tabs appear when you add a new business entity record or open a business entity record from search results. The label on the tab is dynamic, based on the action that opens the workspace.
Links to the
Business Entity
view from menus on other views
Custom tabs, if configured
cmx.dataview.taskmanager.enabled: Optional. Applicable only if the
cmx.e360.view.enabled
property is set to
false
. Indicates whether to display the Task Manager in a

false
.
If the
cmx.dataview.taskmanager.enabled

property are set to
true
, and you want to enable the Cross-reference view, the History view, and the Matching Records view related to the Data Director with subject areas, set the
cmx.e360.match_xref.view.enabled
property to
false
.
cmx.server.override_orstitle: Optional. Must be added manually. Specifies a preferred default title for current tasks when you log in to
