Unlinking a golden record from a source entity

Sometimes a golden record is linked to the wrong source entity. You can remove the source entity link.

About this task

If you remove a source entity for a source that accepts channel updates, a Pending link indicates that the source could receive a channel update for the golden record but currently, it is not linked. A Pending status does not indicate there is an action waiting to be performed.

You cannot unlink the source entity if it is the only contributing source linked to a golden record. Before removing the source entity, configure another source to contribute data.

note

It is not possible to remove Pending links.

Procedure

1. Select Stewardship > Golden Records.

2. In the repository/domain list, select the domain.

3. In the data grid, click the Updated Date of the golden record whose link you want to remove.

   The detail view opens.

4. Select the Sources tab.

   The tab shows a list of the golden record’s links to source entities.

   

5. Click the gear icon and select Unlink this Source. This option is not available if it is the only contributing source linked to the golden record.

6. To confirm, click Unlink Source. If the source does not accept channel updates, the link is removed. If the source accepts channel updates, the link status changes to Pending.
