How can I query delll boomi MDH field thats not in match rule?

I am new to MDH and I would like to know how to query MDH field directly thats not in match rules.

I have a model that has 5 fields (Src_id, name, email, updated_date, created_date) and we have a match rule on Src_id which is also ID in MDH.

But, I would like to search on name and get the Src_Id is it possible? if not, do I need to make any changes to my model

Any help is highly appreciated.

Solution

There are two avenues for "querying" your master data hub.

MDH Web UI
Boomi MDH API

You say you would like to search "Name" and get "Src_Id". If you using avenue (1) - you simply go to UI and select "Add Filter"->"Field Data"->select "Name"->select operator "Equals"->{fill in name you'd like to search for} --> The entire Golden Record is returned and you can see it via the UI or by clicking the timestamp to pull up the record in depth (2) refer to https://help.boomi.com/bundle/hub/page/r-mdm-REST_APIs.html specifically "Query Golden Record". You would fill in all the necessary API information (URL)+Basic Auth based on Repository+universe id-based on model, etc. Your request body would look like:

<RecordQueryRequest>
<view>
<fieldId>SRC_ID</fieldId>
</view>
<filter>
<fieldValue>
<fieldId>NAME</fieldId>
<operator>EQUALS</operator>
<value>{INSERT NAME TO SEARCH}</value>
</fieldValue>
</filter>
</RecordQueryRequest>

Response will be in XML corresponding to your model: eg)

<RecordQueryResponse resultCount="1" totalCount="1">
<Record recordId="GUID" createdDate="TIMESTAMP" updatedDate="TIMESTAMP" recordTitle="DERIVED BY MODEL">
<Fields>
<rootelementname>
<src_id>123</src_id>
</rootelementname>
</Fields>
</RecordQueryResponse>
