Record uninqueness
To ensure that a record is unique, stateless record types use the ratl_keysite field. The ratl_keysite field is an internal system field that stores the name of the site where an object was created.
For example, a new customer named NetInc is created at two replicas during the same time period between synchronizations. When each replica synchronizes, there seem to be two customer records with identical names. To ensure uniqueness, HCL Compass references the ratl_keysite field.
If you need to use describe or chmaster commands to
work with an ambiguous record, you must refer to its keysite name (originating
site name). For example:
customer:NetInc<keysite-name>.
The following example uses the keysite name in the object selector:
multiutil describe -clan telecomm -site tokyo -family PRODA -user masako
-password secret customer:NetInc<boston_hub>
Multiutil: Mastership of ‘customer:NetInc<boston_hub>’ is ‘boston_hub’.
