The system state of a record describes how base object records are supported by Informatica MDM Hub. The Hub supports the following system states: ACTIVE, PENDING, and DELETED.

Promotion of a record is the process of changing the system state of individual records in Informatica MDM Hub from PENDING state to the ACTIVE state. You can set a record for promotion immediately using the Data Steward tools, or you can flag records to be promoted at a later time using the Promote batch process.

You can use the data steward tools to manage the following tasks for changing the system state for individual records:

Display pending records
Promote pending base object or cross-reference records to ACTIVE state
Mark records as DELETED
Delete pending records
Restore deleted records
