On a matching algorithm, the following rule is available to define promotion to a golden record via a business action.
Important: For both a match and merge solution or a match and link solution, survivorship rules should only update the surviving entity and not other entities referencing the survivor.
Business Action
Valid for strategies: merge or link
Specifies the business action used to promote data to the golden record. Data is promoted to a golden record across all contexts (the evaluation is performed in the context and workspace selected on the algorithm) and only the data for which survivorship rules exist will be promoted. Inherited and calculated values are not used.
Business Action - Click the ellipsis button (
) to specify a business action to run on golden records when survivorship rules are applied.
When using a JavaScript business action with the merge golden record solution, you must use the 'Survivorship Rules Source Object' bind. This bind grants the script access to the temporary source objects so that relevant values can be promoted from them to the surviving golden records. For more information, refer to the Survivorship Rule Source Objects Bind topic in the online help Resource Materials documentation here.
Note: For JavaScript survivorship rules, if the source has a reference to itself, that reference has already had its target moved to the surviving record before survivorship rules are run.
