Record States

The predefined

MDM Hub

record states are ACTIVE, PENDING, and DELETED.

By default, only approved records in the ACTIVE state contribute to the Best Version of the Truth (BVT) record. You can modify operations to allow matches to and from ACTIVE and PENDING records.

The following table describes the record states:

Record State	Description
ACTIVE	Default. A record in the ACTIVE state is reviewed and approved. If records must go through a BPM approval workflow, the active records have been through that process and are approved. The following qualities apply to active records: All MDM Hub processes include active records by default. A base object record is active if at least one of its cross-reference records is in the ACTIVE state. Only active cross-reference records contribute to the consolidated base object. In tables, the HUB_STATE_IND system column displays a 1 for records in the ACTIVE state.
PENDING	A record in the PENDING state is awaiting a review. If records must go through a BPM approval workflow, the review tasks associated with the pending records are still open. You cannot edit a record which is participating in a workflow and pending approval. The following qualities apply to active records: Records in the PENDING state are not approved for general use by the MDM Hub . The MDM Hub processes exclude pending records by default. You can perform most operations on pending records, but you have to request the pending records. If there are only pending cross-reference records, the MDM Hub determines the BVT on the base object through trust on the PENDING records. If you delete a record that is in the PENDING state, the record is removed from the table, does not enter the DELETED state, and cannot be restored. In tables, the HUB_STATE_IND system column displays a 0 for records in the PENDING state.
DELETED	A record in the DELETED state is no longer part of the MDM Hub data. The following qualities apply to active records: The MDM Hub processes exclude deleted records by default. To include deleted records, you have to request them. You can restore a record in the DELETED state. In tables, the HUB_STATE_IND system column displays a -1 for records in the DELETED state.
