In Informatica MDM, which workflow trigger type initiates a process automatically when a record reaches a specific state in the state machine?
Answer: Event-based trigger
Event-based triggers fire automatically when a record transitions to a defined state, enabling straight-through processing without human intervention.
When configuring a hierarchy in Informatica MDM Hub, what does the 'Relationship Type' setting control?
Answer: The cardinality and direction of relationships between hierarchy nodes
Relationship Type defines cardinality (one-to-one, one-to-many) and directionality between parent and child nodes in a hierarchy.
A workflow task is configured with 'Reviewer' and 'Approver' roles. In which order are these roles typically invoked in a standard multi-step approval workflow?
Answer: Reviewer first, then Approver
In a standard multi-step workflow, Reviewers evaluate changes first and, upon acceptance, the task advances to Approvers for final sign-off.
Which MDM Hub configuration object stores the task assignment rules that determine which user or role receives a workflow task?
Answer: Assignment Rule
Assignment Rules contain the logic (based on data attributes, user roles, or load balancing) that routes tasks to the correct user or group.
In Informatica MDM hierarchy management, what is the purpose of the 'Effective Date' attribute on a relationship record?
Answer: It specifies the date range during which a parent-child relationship is valid
Effective Date attributes allow time-variant hierarchy modeling so that parent-child relationships can be tracked as they change over time.
When a workflow in MDM Hub is set to 'Auto-Accept,' what happens when all configured business rules pass validation?
Answer: The record is automatically promoted to the Active state without human intervention
Auto-Accept bypasses the manual approval step and promotes the record directly to Active state when all validation rules are satisfied.
Which table in the Operational Reference Store (ORS) stores the active hierarchy relationships between entity records?
Answer: HM_RELATIONSHIP
HM_RELATIONSHIP is the base table that records active parent-child relationships within a hierarchy in the ORS.
