Propagation


Propagation of the data for your dataload jobs occurs automatically after the promotion of data and when the dataload tool determines that there is data that requires propagation. Data Management uses the data wizard to propagate data. You can also use the data wizard to manually propagate data changes.

The following data elements are checked during the validation step and if these elements are identified, they are automatically flagged for propagation:

  • Person Name 
  • Login ID 
  • Site Information 

The following table describes propagation behaviors that relate to the CTM:People form:

Staging record condition
