What determines the deduplication order if the two data sources have the same order?

The deduplication order is determined by the Artifact ID when two data sources share the same order. The Artifact ID serves as a unique identifier for each piece of data, ensuring that even if multiple items have been imported in the same sequence from different sources, each item can still be distinguished and prioritized correctly during the deduplication process. This unique identification is essential in maintaining the integrity of the data being processed, allowing for proper management and elimination of duplicate entries based on the specific Artifact IDs assigned to them.

In contexts where both sources may bring in items that are otherwise identical in other attributes, relying on the Artifact ID not only helps in maintaining clarity in data handling but also ensures that the most relevant or recently captured information is retained as duplicates are resolved. This systematic approach plays a crucial role in data processing, ensuring efficiency and accuracy in deduplication efforts.
