Data Director with Business Entities

The entity views are based on business entities. To use these views, upgrade Data Director applications from subject areas to business entities.

Reference Number	Description
MDM-22817	When you filter child records by a date that does not exist in the child records, a record with a non-matching date appears.
MDM-22815	You can change the default date format used by the calendar in the Entity 360 framework. To change the default date format, use a text editor to create a bundleE360.properties file that contains the property DATE_TIME_LONG_FORMAT . Then add the bundleE360.properties file to the following location: infamdm\hub\server\resources\entityE360 If the entityE360 directory does not exist, create the directory.
MDM-22811	In the simple merge component, when you want to change a date value, the calendar does not appear correctly. Workaround: Type in a date.
MDM-22519	In the search results, some rows are empty. The rows represent records that are filtered out because the user does not have permission to view the records. Workaround: The MDM administrator has to delete the search index. From the Provisioning tool, open the business entity and add or update any searchable field. Any change to the searchable configuration deletes the index. Re-index the data for the business entity.
MDM-22369	When you preview a changed record from a task, the preview might not display the change bar beside some of the changed values in child records.
MDM-21692	The calendar controls are not localized.
MDM-18817	The Cross Reference page and the Merge Preview page have pagination issues.
MDM-18665	When you delete the Status Cd code, the following error occurs: Cannot read property 'taskId' of undefined Workaround: You can edit this field, but you cannot delete it.
MDM-18597	When a user role does not include the create and read privileges for a business entity, users with this role can still view the tasks associated with the business entity.
MDM-14958	In the Search box drop-down list, when the list exceeds the height of the browser window, you cannot scroll the list to see the items that are off screen. Workaround: In the browser, switch to full screen mode. Increase the resolution until you can see the remainder of the list.
MDM-14952	In the History view, the timescale labels in the Options menu do not appear correctly initially. Workaround: Interact with the timescale for the timescale labels to display correctly.
MDM-14933	In the Hierarchy view, business entities in the Relationships tab of the history do not open in Business Entity view. Workaround: Use the Search box to find the business entity, and then open the entity in a Business Entity view.
MDM-14932	In the Timeline view, you cannot open the relationship records that appear on the Relationships tab.
MDM-14920	In the Hierarchy view, in the Entity Details dialog box, when you click More Details , the dialog box closes without opening the selected business entity. Workaround: Use the Search box to find the business entity, and then open the entity in a Business Entity view.
MDM-14919	In the Hierarchy view, the anchor entity Actions Open in New Tab option does not open a new tab.
MDM-14918	In the Hierarchy view, the anchor entity Actions Edit Edit Entity option does not open the business entity. Workaround: From the View list, select the Business Entity view.
MDM-14890	In Microsoft Internet Explorer 10, the Log Out button is not visible from the Business Entity view and details do not display correctly in the History view. Workaround: Use another supported browser.
MDM-14781	In the Matching Records view, when you select a child record as the target record, the interface lets you select a record in the pending state. However, pending records cannot participate in a merge process, which means that the merge fails. Workaround: Select a child record in the active state as the target record.
MDM-14460	If the time zone of the application server is different from the time zone of the client, the time of an event in the History view differs from the time in the event details panel.
MDM-14385	When you view the details of merge and unmerge operations, user names are sometimes prefixed with e360 in the Updated By or Created By fields.
MDM-14327	If there are multiple pages of search results for business entity child records and you type in a page number beyond the range of pages displayed, subsequent attempts to view a page of search results fail and an error occurs.
MDM-11397	If you use the mdm_sample Operational Reference Store, you cannot add or update the phone number of a Person business entity. Workaround: Before you add or update the phone number of a Person business entity, perform the following steps: In the Hub Console, start the Cleanse Functions tool, and then acquire a write lock. Click Custom Parse Phone Number - NA . Click the Details tab of the Parse Phone Number - NA function. Right-click on Condition and click Edit Condition . In the Edit Condition dialog box, for each case value, change the country code from +1 to 1 . Save the changes and use the Repository Manager to validate the metadata.
MDM-8768	After you upgrade and then delete all the configuration files from the repository table c_repos_component_instance, tasks might not display in the Task Manager inbox for the first user who logs in to Informatica Data Director. Workaround: Log out of Informatica Data Director and then log in again.
MDM-8764	When you generate the business entity schema from a subject area configuration, mandatory lookup fields are not included in the business entity view configuration or transformation configuration. Workaround: In the Provisioning tool, add the missing configuration code: Select Advance Configuration Business Entity Views (XML) . Add the following code to the lookup configuration: <ns2:field name="<`missing field name`>"/> Select Advance Configuration Transformation Configuration (XML) . Add the following code to the co2view configuration: <input name=”<`missing field name`>” field=”<`missing field name`>”/> <output name=”<`missing field name`>” field=”<`missing field name`>”/> Add the following code to the view2co configuration: <input name=”<`missing field name`>” field=”<`missing field name`>”/> <output name=”<`missing field name`>” field=”<`missing field name`>”/> Select Advance Configuration Business Entities (XML) . Add the following code to the lookup configuration: <ns2:field name="<missing field name>" label="<missing field name>" column="<missingcolumn name>" required="true"/> Click Update . Click Validate + Publish .
MDM-8606	In the Matching Records view, when you merge records, the system can appear unresponsive. Workaround: Wait until the merge job finishes.
MDM-7597	If you delete a record and then search for the record, the ROWID of the deleted record still displays.
MDM-5715	On Internet Explorer 9 and 10, if you group search results by type, you cannot then expand the search results. Workaround: Use Internet Explorer 11 or alternative browsers such as Chrome, Safari, or Firefox.
MDM-5333	Match and merge is not supported for business entity child records. If you try to add match records to a child record, you might corrupt the data.
MDM-4710	In the Business Entity view, when you add data to a business entity and then click Apply , the Hub Server does not clean and correctly format the data. Workaround: For your data to appear in the correct format in Business Entity view, click the Save button.
MDM-2699	In calendars, you cannot set a date before January 1, 1000.
MDM-2584	In the Task Manager , you are unable to sort tasks by Task ID, Task Type or Task Status.

MDM-18163	You cannot use a custom profile or multithreading to export search results.
