FKM - Creating a separate table for the Ignore key and Fail key

Creating a Separate table for the Ignore key and Fail key, FKM table, FKM IgnoreKey, FKM FailKey

Problem Copied

There is a case where a user had an accidental removal of an FKM Key from an FKM table, which led to a critical alert being missed. This led to the question below.

Question:

Can I create a separate table for the Ignore key and Fail key rather than having the ignoreKey and the matchKey on a single table?

Answer:

Yes, creating a separate table for the Ignore Key and Fail key should behave the same as having the Match Key and ignoreKey in a single table. However keep in mind that FIRST MATCH WINS so the order of the tables is critical. All the ignore keys in one table is common, but it must appear before the other match tables.
