Hi

Just check this

User Interface - Client and Web Front End

• Are saved searches shared between users or roles?

• Can a saved search be shared between the client and the syndicator?

• Do file-shared searches break security restrictions

• There are too many search tabs in the Client's "Search parameters" pane. How can I pick up only ones I want to display?

MDM Server, Console and Repository

• What are the relationships between Consoles Servers Repositories and Databases?

• Can two servers run on the same computer?

• Why in the Console’s security tabs do Constraints appear only against certain tables?

• Are Text Blocs and Text multilingual?

• What is NULL and how is it used in MDM?

• What does “Required” stand for?

• Can LDAP property "MDMERoles" be changed to something else?

• Can an attribute have additional parameters associated with it like status or userID timestamp?

Import Manager

• Do validations work during the import process?

• Can I import my data in several steps?

• Does the Import Manger have to import all records of the source or can I skip importing of some of them?

• Can data be imported from two different sources concurrently?

• When I import a qualified lookup table it duplicates records. What's the right way to avoid it?

• The Import Manager treats an XML file containing only one element and an XML file containing a collection of the same elements differently. How can I use the same map for both cases?

• What is the difference between Update and Replace in the Import Manager?

• Is there a way to have a field displayed (in a lookup combo-box) but not participating in matching destination fields in the import process?

• Can I run two Import Managers at the same time?

• Where are import maps stored and can maps be edited externally?

• Can a source field partake in mapping twice?

• What is the most efficient format for source data when using Import Manager?

• Is it possible to handle exceptions during import automatically (continue with import if 1 record fails, stop processing for a specific error but continue for another, or notify specific user if record update fails)? How are failed records reprocessed both in MDM and in the Business?

• An archiving process needs to be in place to remove and store old files that have already been processed. How can I handle files that are partially processed?

Syndicator

• How do I handle a situation where the Syndicator produces one XML file with many elements or many XML files with one?

• Can repository data be syndicated as it is or is special output processing possible?

I think it may help you.
