Mapping UMF segments to the entity database
Whenever your data requires new UMF segments, you must create new
data mappings for the data in those UMF segments. Without a valid data mapping,
you cannot successfully load data into the entity database.
- Risks in modifying the entity database
Modifying the entity database has risks and should not be performed
without sufficient experience or expertise.
- Adding tables to the entity database
You may need to add a new database table when adding a new data
source.
- Defining data mappings
You must create a data mapping for new UMF segments and tags. When
new source systems are added to the product, new UMF segments and tags are
sometimes created as a result. A data mapping maps the data in a UMF to the
corresponding tables and table columns in the entity database.
