The affect that the cascade unmerge process has on a child base object depends on whether the parent underwent the tree unmerge process or the linear unmerge process.
The following list shows the the configuration of the parent base object record and the child base object record before and after the cascade unmerge processes:
Merged parent base object record
The following graphic shows a parent base object record '1', which is the best version of the truth that consists of data from records '2' through '7':
Merged child base object record
The following graphic shows the child base object record, '1', that has the same data structure as the parent base object record. The child base object record generally has a different structure from the parent base object record.
Parent base object after a linear unmerge
The following graphic shows record '2' as a separate base object after it undergoes the linear unmerge process:
Child base object after a linear unmerge
When the parent base object record undergoes the linear unmerge process, the child base object record undergoes the same process. The following graphic shows that the affect of the parent base object record linear unmerge process has on the child base object record:
Parent base object after a tree unmerge
The following graphic shows that record '2' is a separate base object that maintains its tree structure after it undergoes the tree unmerge process.
Child base object after a tree unmerge
When the parent base object record undergoes the tree unmerge process, the unmerged tree in the child base object undergoes the linear unmerge process. The following graphic shows the affect that the parent base object record tree unmerge process has on the child base object record:
