Reltio Connect

Hi Team 

We are having a requirement where business wants to have a single template file to load data through DCR for both update & create scenario. But in Create Scenario we are not having any crosswalk value but in Update scenario we are having Entity Id which we are passing as crosswalk value to avoid duplicate records being created. Now how can we achieve this in a single template because for user every time putting entity id in Update template from Reltio doesn't seems convenient. Also we are having Node Id as a primary key which is an autogenerated field. Tell me if this can be used to fulfill the requirement.

Thanks

Hi Priyam,

Assuming you are using Reltio crosswalks, even in the CREATE scenario, you can pass a crosswalk value (which should be blank in your case), and Reltio will auto-generate it. Have you tried this?
