Xdm Match Rule Involving Multiple Child Entities (Address and Document)

Hi Team,

I’m working on a Semarchy xDM model where I have three entities:

Customer (parent)

Address (child entity)

Document (child entity – contains proofs like Driver’s License, Passport, etc.)

The reason for keeping Address and Document as separate child entities is that:

Multiple customers can share the same address.

A single customer can have multiple documents/proofs.

Now, I want to create a match rule on the Customer entity, but the matching logic needs to use:

Attributes from Address (like Address Line 1, City, State)

Fields from Document (like Proof Type, e.g., Driver’s License)

I understand that match rules are typically written within one entity, so I’m trying to understand if it is possible to include columns from both child entities in the match rule for Customer.

If this is achievable, could you please suggest how I can approach this? If not directly possible, are there any recommended workarounds or best practices to handle this scenario?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Monish,


You are facing a known limitation tracked under MDM-8925, planned long-term.

If you let me know the customer who needs this feature, I'll add it there.

I'll convert this topic in a ticket, for me to link the internal request there, for you to be able to follow-up its R&D status.

You might need to reach out to the consulting team to find another way to address your needs.


Talk to you over on ticket.

Have a good day

Has this MDM-8925 been release we need it urgently for our customer


Hello Preetish,

We have created a ticket for you, to share the ticket information.

Hello,

I have the same need. Can u tell me, please, if you have got any solution about your issue ?

Hello Nihel,

I have reached out over on ticket to discuss this together.

Hi Nihel, 

We have been using different approaches to handle this like adding all the critical attributes in one entity, or by leveraging the one child entity per rule form the parent entity or by using mix of child entity for some the attributes and keeping rest as flattened out in parent entity itself. 

Still waiting on the product team for the enhancements to handle this case in full control from child entities.

@alexia, it would be helpful to get the latest on this one. 
Thanks!

Hello everyone,

To communicate the enhancement request and the R&D status, I need a support ticket for that, hence why I have created one for each customer so far.

I think this is already the case for you Vinoth, right?

Yes Alexia. One of our clients had requirements on this one.

Ok, perfect, then I'll let you follow-up the status over there then.
