You can either permanently delete data records from the selected entity or erase them from the data record list so that you can recover them at a later date.

Before you begin

  • The MDM server is already launched.

  • You have been assigned a role with the appropriate user authorization and access rights. For further information, see Security.

  • At least one view has been created in Talend Studio. For further information, see the Talend Studio User Guide.

  • Make sure you have selected the data container that holds the master data you want to manage and the data model against which the master data will be validated. For further information, see Accessing data containers and data models.

Procedure

  1. In the Master Data Browser page, search for the data records pertaining to the entity of interest.
    All searched data records are listed in this page. For more information, see Searching entities in the selected data container.
  2. Select the check box next to the data record you want to delete.

    Example

  3. Click the button and then select Delete to permanently delete the data record(s).

    A Confirmation dialog box opens.

If required, you can recover the erased data record(s) from the Recycle Bin later. For more information, see Recovering a deleted data record.
  4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion and close the message.
    The selected master data record is deleted from the list and from the repository.
