Global Master Data Sync uses a single role center called Global Master Administrator. From this role center you manage the full setup, no matter whether your company acts as a master, a subscriber, or both at the same time.
The role center gives you access to job queues, data templates, partners, log entries, ISY file logs, record data, and the setup pages you need to configure and run the synchronization.
If your company is both a master and a subscriber, you see data flowing in both directions. You see the templates and record data you have created and are sending out, and you see the templates and record data you have received from your master company.
Job queues for monitoring the synchronization
At the top of the role center you find the actions for the job queues. From here you check the status of the job queues you have created for Global Master Data Sync, so you can keep an eye on whether the synchronization is running as it should.
Data templates for master and subscriber companies
On the Data Templates page you see both directions of the flow. You see the templates that you, as a master company, have created and made ready to synchronize to your subscribers. You also see the data templates you have received from your master company.
Partners involved in the synchronization
The Partners page lists all the partners you are going to synchronize with. This gives you an overview of which companies are part of your master data exchange.
Log entries and ISY file logs
The Log Entries page shows the log for the record data you have received from your master company. Here you can see if any errors occurred during the synchronization.
The ISY File Logs page shows a log of the files involved in the exchange. You see the files coming from a master company, and you also see the files you have sent to your subscribers.
Global master record data and record actions
On the Global Master Record Data page you see all the record data in one place. This includes the record data you have received from your master company and the record data you have created yourself from your own templates.
On the Master Record Actions page you see record actions in both directions. You see the record actions you receive from your master company, and you see the record actions you are going to transfer to your subscribers for them to execute.
Tasks for master and subscriber companies
The role center separates the tasks into a master section and a subscriber section.
In the master section you can create and send file logs, and you can release pending data templates so they are ready for your subscribers.
In the subscriber section you can import ISY file logs if you are using Azure Blob Storage. After downloading or receiving the data from your master company, you can update and synchronize the record data.
Setup and templates
On the Global Master Setup page you find all the settings for Global Master Data Sync.
On the Global Master Templates page you can download the standard templates. You can also import and export packages here if you want to move your configuration into a different environment.
