INFA MDM - Source Read

Reads a cross-reference (source) record from B360 by Business Entity Internal Id, Source System, and Source Primary Key. This returns a single source system's contribution — not the blended golden record. See Design Concept for the distinction between source records and golden records.

Informatica docs: Source Record API

Output

Payload

Returns a Map<String, Object> representing the source record, including field data, _meta, and optionally _contentMeta and dataEnhancementRule. The structure is dynamic and matches the selected business entity's datamodel.

The response includes a states object with the following statuses:

State	Example values	Description
base	ACTIVE	Record lifecycle state
consolidation	MATCH_INDEXED, CONSOLIDATED	Match and merge status
searchIndex	SEARCH_DIRTY	Search index status
validation	PENDING, PASSED, FAILED	Data quality validation status

When showContentMeta is true, the response also includes a _contentMeta object with trust score and survivorship details.

When a data quality rule applies, the response includes a dataEnhancementRule object with a fail array listing failed data enhancement rules.

GET <baseApiUrl>/business-entity/public/api/v1/entity-xref/{businessEntity}/{sourceSystem}/{sourcePKey}[?_resolveCrosswalk=true][&_showContentMeta=true]

Dependent Drop-downs

The Business Entity Internal Id and Source System fields use dependent value providers. When you select a Business Entity Internal Id, the Source System drop-down refreshes to show only the source systems configured for that entity in your B360 tenant datamodel.
