Monitor Master data inbox
Application task

When a source company releases a master record, it is added to the Master data inbox of the target company.

The added record has the status To be processed. You can only view the record.
When the source company runs an MDM message and no errors occur, in the Master data inbox, the status of the record is changed to processed. This indicates that the master data is imported in the database of the target company or in the staging journal.
Possible statuses of the Master data inbox are:
  • To be processed: Status after the record is released.
  • In processes: The MDM message is running.
  • Processed: The master data is imported in the database of the target company or in the staging journal.
  • Cancelled: The release of the record is cancelled by the data steward of the source company.
  • Error: An error occurred when running the MDM message.
Note: Monitor the Master data inbox in the target company.
