  • Integration Center – Job

Custom MDF Objects (Lookup table)

Conclusion

As a result of reading this blog, you will be able to create the non-effective dated MDF object and Integration Center job. You will be able to gain a better understanding of how to extract data from one MDF and post it to another MDF using the Integration Center job.

Using the same logic, you can also trigger alerts and notifications for portlets such as National ID information.

      Good solution as ECP replication doesn’t fail due to lack of payment info portlet but later will have issue in bank file. Apart from pcc validation this will also be good way to minimise missing bank info.
