deleteSourceIdentity

The deleteSourceIdentity web service is used to physically delete one of your source records from your instance of Provider Data Management. When source records are added or updated in your various source applications/databases, you use the postIdentity service to synchronize those adds/updates to Provider Data Management.

When source records are deleted from your source applications/databases, you use the deleteSourceIdentity web service to delete them from Provider Data Management to ensure Provider Data Management is in synch.

If the source record you are deleting from Provider Data Management is the only source record in a given entity, then the Provider Data Management entity itself, including all data corresponding to your source record, will be deleted. If the source record you are deleting from Provider Data Management is part of a Provider Data Management entity that is also made up of other source records, that entity will remain (with its Link ID unchanged), but the data corresponding to the deleted source record will be removed from Provider Data Management.
