  1. In Informatica MDM Hub, what is the purpose of an ActiveVOS workflow engine integration?

    Answer: To orchestrate complex human workflow tasks with BPEL-based process definitions

    ActiveVOS is a BPEL-compliant workflow engine integrated with MDM Hub to enable sophisticated, configurable human workflow processes beyond the built-in simple workflow.

  2. A steward is working in Informatica Data Director and needs to view all records that are in an 'Under Review' state across multiple base objects. Which feature provides this cross-object task view?

    Answer: My Tasks inbox

    The My Tasks inbox in Informatica Data Director aggregates all workflow tasks assigned to or claimed by the steward, regardless of which base object the record belongs to.

  3. During a stewardship workflow, a record's trust score changes after a steward manually edits a field value. How does MDM typically treat the manually entered value's trust?

    Answer: It is assigned maximum trust so it survives over source contributions

    Manual steward edits are typically assigned the highest trust level so the steward's correction survives subsequent source system loads.

  4. Which event in the Informatica MDM workflow lifecycle triggers an email notification to a data steward that a new task requires attention?

    Answer: Task creation or assignment event

    MDM sends notifications when a task is created or assigned, alerting the responsible steward that action is required on a pending record.

  5. In the context of Informatica MDM workflows, what does 'task pooling' allow an organization to do?

    Answer: Assign tasks to a group role so any member can claim and process them

    Task pooling routes tasks to a shared role-based queue so any qualified steward in that group can claim and process available tasks, improving throughput.

  6. A new MDM workflow configuration must ensure that records with a data quality score below 60% are always sent to human review rather than auto-approved. Where is this threshold logic configured?

    Answer: In the workflow process definition transition conditions

    Transition conditions within the workflow process definition evaluate record attributes (such as DQ score) to determine whether a record routes to a human review task or auto-transitions.

  7. Which Informatica MDM component is responsible for persisting the state and history of every workflow task instance across system restarts?

    Answer: Workflow engine state store / ORS task tables

    The MDM Operational Reference Store (ORS) contains workflow task tables that persist task state, ownership, comments, and transition history durably.
