mark as unique (CONSOLIDATION_IND=1) any records that have been through the match process, but for which no matches were identified.
If enabled, for such records,
Informatica MDM Hub
automatically changes their state to
consolidated
(changes the consolidation indicator from 2 to 1). Consolidated records are removed from the data steward’s queue via the Automerge batch job.
By default, this option is disabled. In a development environment, you might want this option disabled, for example, while iteratively testing and tuning match rules to determine which records are found to be unique for a given set of match rules.
This option should always be enabled in a production environment. Otherwise, you can end up with a large number of records with a consolidation indicator of 2. If this backlog of records exceeds the Maximum Matches for Manual Consolidation setting, then you will need to process these records first before you can continue matching and consolidating other records.
