Master data services 2016 data validation - master-data-services

All modules and attributes are created as per my requirement using Master data services 2016. I am working on data validation.
Requirement is that, we have to display custom message to users while he/she is trying to enter duplicate data in the combination of 3 columns (composite primary key) and should not be inserted into database. I tried using triggers in MDS database.
Suggest me the best way to do this.

You can add business rule of Must be unique and then select Must be unique in combination with the following attributes. I Think we cannot add custom message.
Message will be shown as Column A,B,C must be unique with combination .....

Is there anyway to check duplicate the message control id (MSH:10) in MSH segment using Mirth connect?

Is there anyway to check duplicate the message control id (MSH:10) in MSH segment using Mirth connect?
MSH|^~&|sss|xxx|INSTANCE2|KKLIU 0063/2021|20190905162034||ADT^A28^ADT_A05|Zx20190905162034|P|2.4|||NE|NE|||||
whenever message enters it needs to be validated whether duplicate of control id Zx20190905162034 is already processed or not?
Mirth will not do this for you, but you can write your own JavaScript transformer to check a database or your own set of previously encountered control ids.
Your JavaScript can make use of any appropriate Java classes.
The database check (you can implement this using code template) is the easier way out. You might want to designate the column storing MSH:10 values as a primary key or define an index on it. Queries against unique entries would be faster. Other alternatives include periodically redeploying the Channel while reading all MSH:10 values already in the database and placing them in a global map variable or maintained in an API that you can make a GET request to when processing every message. Any of the options depends on the number of records we are speaking about.

Master Data Business Rules Protecting Column from Edit / Change

I am in need of some help with Microsoft Master Data - specifically the Business Rules.
I am inserting data into MDS and then the users will update additional info using the excel plugin.
The data Im inserting is used in my join for reporting.
I do not want any user to "Accidentally" change one of my inserted columns only add the data they are supposed to.
for reference - Inserting into MDS

https://www.mattmasson.com/2013/06/bulk-loading-into-mds-using-ssis/
So I would like to know how to create the MDS business rule to protect a column from being edited. The Business Rules are not intuitive to use.
You get three options to edit
IF
THEN
ELSE
How can I say - Do not Edit this column? :)
I have tried the following:
IF "Platform" has changed
then "Platform" Defaults to "Platform"
else "Platform Defaults to Platform"
I get the following error
"The Sequence must be greater than Zero"
Thank you
Ok - So I found the Answer.
You don't do this via the Business Rules.
In the MDS web interface
Security > Manage Users or Manage Groups
You can give a person / a Group
Read create update or delete permissions on models down to Attributes.
Thank you

Master Data Services - Domain based attributes

We are using Master Data Services as an MDM solution for our SQL Server BI environment. I have an entity containing a first name and last name and then I have created a business rule that concatenates these two fields to form a full name which is then stored in the "name" system field of the entity.
I use this as a domain based entity in another entity. Then the user can then see the full name before linking it as a attribute in the second entity.
I want to be able to restrict the users from capturing data in the first entity against the name attribute because the business rule deals with the logic to populate this attribute. I have read that there are two ways to do this:
Set the display width to zero of the attribute. This does not seem to work, the explorer version still shows a narrow version of the field in the rows and the user can still edit the field in the detail pane.
Use the security to make the attribute read only. I have tried different combinations of this but it seems that you cannot use this functionality for a name field (system field).
This seems like pretty basic functionality that I require and it seems that there is no clear cut way to do this in MDS.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks
We do exactly the same thing.
I tested it, and whether you create a new member, or edit an existing member, the business rule just overwrites the manual input value in the name attribute.
Is there a specific 'business' reason why you need to restrict data input in the name field? If it is for Ux reasons, you can change the display name of the name attribute to something like 'Don't populate' or alternatively make it a '.', then the users won't know what to input.

Importing data into Address entity in CRM 13 failing

I have some Account info that contains multiple addresses that I need to enter into CRM 13 for a client. I was instructed by my PM to create a separate csv doc with the duplicate accounts and their info on them and import them into the Address entity, and that this should tie those records to their respective account records. The problem I am having, though, is that every time I have tried to do the import, the process fails. When I look at the log, I have two references that the data failed an import because of a parent id issue. I get both this error: The parent is not valid; and this one under the last column on the log: parent id not set for address type 1701.
I have no idea what parent id I am supposed to map to, because there aren't any to map to when on the import field mapping set up. I have tried creating a lookup field on the Address entity that calls back to the Account form, but that is not allowed by the system. I have relabeled ALL the fields I have to map on the CSV doc to match the proper entity names, and it fails. I have even tried to map it to the one primary key field name on the drop down, and it fails. When I look at the fields individually, there is only one lookup field that goes back to the Account data: The Parent field. It's the ONLY one I can think I could use, but when you go into the form editor it doesn't exist. This seems to be the only way I can do this like my PM wanted.
I am at a loss. I have scoured the internet, and I can't find an answer to how to resolve this. If anyone knows how I can import this data so that it ties to the Account entity, I would greatly appreciate it.
Turns out that CRM 15 has some issues with showing fields in Firefox, at the moment, but not with IE. And it was the last thing I thought to look at, until a coworker brought it up. Problem solved.

Can Sync Services add a column on the central table?

Is it possible to have Sync Services for ADO.NET read data from a table on multiple devices and insert it into a central SQL Server, having an additional column in the central table with the origin of the row data?
Let's say I have equipped door-to-door sales people with a device where they register sales. The local table would contain rows with sales information, and the central database would contain the same data + a column with the ID of the sales person.
Is that possible, or would I need the sales person's ID in the local database too?
Sync Framework identifies each client with a GUID (see: How To:Use Session Variables) and you can use that to map a particular client to a particular salesperson (see:Identifying Which Client Made a Data Change on either How to: Use Custom Change Tracking System or How to: Use SQL Server Change Tracking.
Or try the approach here for intercepting the change dataset and inserting/substituting the salesperson value: Part 1 – Upload Synchronization where the Client and Server Primary Keys are different
