- 9. MDS – Entity Improvements Microsoft SQL Server and Azure Consulting • Using attribute names that are longer than 50 characters. • Renaming and hiding Name and Code attributes. • You can create a non-clustered index on one attribute (single index) or on a list of attributes (composite index), in an entity • You can share entity data between different models by creating an entity sync • For a domain-based attribute, for a leaf member, you can use a filter parent attribute to constrain the allowed values for the domain-based
- 10. MDS – Security Microsoft SQL Server and Azure Consulting Permission in previous release New permission User who originally installs Master Data Services has the Server Admin permission. User has the Super User function permission User has Update permissions at the model level and no permissions in the model subtree, and so is implicitly a model admin. User has explicit Admin permissions at the model level. User has Read-only permissions. User has Read access permissions. User has Update permissions. User has all four access permissions: Create, Update, Delete, and Read. User has Deny permissions User has Deny permissions •New Super User function permission •More granular levels of permissions by introducing the following new permissions: Read, Create, Update and Delete.
- 11. MDS – Performance Microsoft SQL Server and Azure Consulting Data compression on the entity level. Clean transaction logs at pre-determined intervals or on a schedule, using the System settings and at the model level
- 12. MDS – Other Microsoft SQL Server and Azure Consulting • A member revision history is recorded when a member is changed. • Manage Business Rules in the Master Data Services Add-in for Excel • Create a Derived Hierarchy that displays many-to-many relationships. • You can perform merge conflicts and republish the changes. • You can apply user-defined SQL scripts as an extension of business rules. • You can use change sets to save pending changes to an entity.
