Distributions after Merges
Scenario 1
The fact that only one CPN is being distributed shouldn’t be a problem. In this scenario, the only change that takes place is the CPN of the provider being merged, is changed. This is apparent from an ENTIRE PRIOR distribution. This also indicates which provider the link is made to, i.e. the new CPN. This is just a link between two providers and new link information is available.
Scenario 2
This merge scenario is basically saying that there is a duplicate provider and that the provider should be deactivated. The information that is sent out is that a provider has been deactivated. As no real merge took place this information is really what is needed to keep downstream systems in sync.
Scenario 3
In this scenario, information for both, the survivor and non-survivor, is distributed.
