To submit merge batches:Use the Review Party Merge Batches window to submit merge batches to Party Merge. Party Merge is the Oracle Trading Community Architecture feature that performs the actual merging of parties. The Review Party Merge Batches window displays all the merge batches that you created from a specific duplicate identification batch.
For each merge batch, the window also displays the pairs of parties to be merged and the sequence in which they are submitted. DQM automatically determines the sequence when you create the merge batch to ensure that parties are successfully submitted and merged.
For example, if you are merging party A to party B, and party B to party C, you must merge party A to B before merging B to C. If you merge party B to C first, party B does not exist any more for party A to merge into.
Before you can submit merge batches to Party Merge, you must create a merge batch for the selected duplicate identification batch. For more information, see: Reviewing Duplicates and Creating Merge Batches.
To submit merge batches:Navigate to the Review Party Merge Batches window.
The window automatically appears when you create a merge batch. Otherwise, navigate to the Duplicate Identification: Batch Review window, query the duplicate identification batch that you want to submit merge batches for, and press the View Merge Set button.
You can change the merge batch names in the Party Merge Batch field if you want.
The default names consist of the original duplicate identification batch name and a sequential number. For example, the first merge batch that you create with duplicate identification batch ABC is named 1-ABC. The second merge batch is called 2-ABC, and so on.
The Status field displays the status of the merge batch:
Ready to Submit: This batch is the one that is submitted when you press the Submit Party Merge Batch button.
In Queue: This batch is in the queue for submission.
Pending: This batch has been submitted to Party Merge.
Partially Complete: This batch has been partially merged with success in Party Merge.
Complete: This batch has successfully merged in Party Merge.
For each merge batch, the Merge Batch Parties region displays the names and numbers of all the merge-from and merge-to parties, in the default sequence that the pairs will be submitted.
Press the Submit Party Merge Batch button to submit the batch with the Ready to Submit status.
Note: You must submit batches in the order that they are displayed.
When the submission successfully completes, the status for the batch changes to Pending and the next batch gets the Ready to Submit status.
To continue to the Party Merge process, press the Go To Party Merge button. The Merge Parties window automatically appears for the selected merge batch.
Note: You can only select merge batches with a Pending status for Party Merge.
When the actual Party Merge process is run on a merge batch, the concurrent request number of the process is displayed in the Request ID field of the Review Party Merge Batches window.
