Complete Merge Tracking Properties

The tree and chain views contain the following information:

Area	Description
Merge History Tree	Tree view only. Displays the merge history in a tree format. The tree view shows the path back to the root object to which all other records will consolidate. The root object represents the surviving record.
Row ID	Tree view only. Allows you to search for a particular record by specifying its ROWID_OBJECT and clicking the Search button.
Match Pairs	Chain view only. Displays match pairs—two records in the base object that were identified as matches. Shows the chain (sequence) of matched pairs that contributed to the match. The last row at the bottom of this list represents the surviving record.
Rule Set	ID of the match rule set that was being executed when the match was made.
Rule No	Number of the match rule that identified the match pair.
Reverse	A reverse match, which means that the order of the match as it appears in the tree should be reversed. For example: record 1 matches to record 2 on rule 1 Reverse=True means that the actual original match was: record 2 matches to record 1 on rule 1
Rows Data	For the match pair that is selected in the left pane, shows the cell values (by column) for the source and target object.
