Configuring data record deletion

Procedure

In the design workspace, double-click the tMDMDelete component to display the Basic settings view and set the component properties.
From the Schema list, select Built-in and click the [...] button next to the Edit Schema field to describe the structure of the master data in the MDM hub.
Click the plus button to the right to add one column of the type String. In this example, name this column outputXML. Click OK to close the dialog box and proceed to the next step.
Select the Use an existing connection check box, and from the Component List list that appears, select the component you have configured to open your Talend MDM Server connection.
In this scenario, only one Talend MDM Server connection exists, so simply use the default selection.
In the Entity field, enter the name of the business entity that holds the master data you want to delete, the Product entity in this example.
In the Data Container, enter the name of the data container that holds the data to be deleted, Product in this example.
In the Keys table, click the plus button to add a new line. In the Keys column, select the column that holds the key of the Product entity. Here, the key of the Product entity is set on the Id field.

Information noteNote:
If the entity has multiple keys, add as many line as required for the keys and select them in sequential order.
If needed, select the Fire Delete event check box, so that the delete event will be generated and written into UpdateReport.
Select the Logical delete check box if you do not want to delete the master data permanently. This will send the deleted data to the Recycle bin. Once in the Recycle bin, the master data can be restored or permanently deleted. If you leave this check box clear, the master data will be permanently deleted.
