Multistep master data cleansing in operative business processes

摘要

Proliferation of duplicative master data in a master data server is prevented. Data is received from a first client computer system at a master data server that includes a data store for master data used by the first client computer system and a second client computer system. Preliminary tests are run to determine whether the data received from the first client computer system are duplicative of master data in the data store. The received data are in the data store as master data and distributed to the second client computer system if the preliminary tests do not determine that the received data are duplicative of master data in the data store. Additional tests are run after distribution of the received data to the second client computer system to determine whether the data received from the first client computer system are duplicative of master data in the data store.
