Use Cases and Limitations

As mentioned in our first article on FDMEE Insight, this service does support a number of use cases, but also has some limitations. Here is an over view of the supported features as well as its limitations using Data Load Rules in FDMEE and Data Management (Cloud).

Supported Features – please check again soon as we are going to support more and more features over time:

  • Source Systems:

Please contact us in case if FDMEE Insight is unable to process your file successfully for any of the above mentioned features or if you identified an error that we didn’t capture. Please also keep in mind that there are too many different configurations of Data Load Rules to cover all possible processes with certainty and we cannot guarantee that the results of FDMEE Insight are correct.
