Deactivate or Delete Members by Using the Staging Process (Master Data Services)
In Master Data Services, you can deactivate members or delete them completely.
Deactivating means the member can be reactivated. If you reactivate a member, its attributes and its membership in hierarchies and collections are restored. All previous transactions are intact. Deactivation transactions are visible to administrators in the Version Management functional area of the Master Data Manager web application.
Deleting means purging the member from the system permanently. All transactions for the member, all relationships, and all attributes are permanently deleted.
Notes:
You cannot use staging to reactivate members. You must do it manually in the Master Data Manager web application. For more information, see Reactivate a Member or Collection (Master Data Services).
You cannot use staging to delete or deactivate collections. For more information on manually deactivating collections, see Delete a Member or Collection (Master Data Services).
