AssignUnmergedRecords assigns records in the unmerged state to the specified user. It assigns no more than the requested number of records. Optionally, you can specify a WHERE clause to select Unmerged records from the package. The Unmerged state is equivalent to setting the consolidation indicator to 2 and can also be referred to as the “ready to merge” state. Records are placed into the Unmerged state regardless of whether they matched other records or not. This request is used to assign the records that are in the Unmerged state to a specified user for review and processing. However, any records that are already assigned to a user will not be reassigned by this API.
The response contains the number of records assigned.
Hub Implementers can setup user exits that control how records are assigned. These user exits are invoked when this API is run and will override the standard logic for assignment of records. For information regarding user exits, see the
Multidomain MDM Configuration Guide
