In MDM Hub workflow configuration, what is the role of a 'Workflow Engine' such as ActiveVOS or Informatica Process Engine?
Answer: It executes and manages the lifecycle of workflow process instances
The Workflow Engine is the BPEL/BPMN runtime that instantiates, tracks, and completes workflow process instances coordinated with MDM Hub.
A hierarchy profile in Informatica MDM defines which of the following?
Answer: The set of entity types and relationship types that form a named hierarchy view
A hierarchy profile groups entity types and relationship types together to define a specific, named hierarchical view of the data.
Which MDM Hub workflow state indicates that a record has been reviewed but not yet approved by the final authority?
Answer: PENDING
PENDING state signals that the record has completed initial review and is awaiting a subsequent approval or decision action.
When configuring task notifications in Informatica MDM workflow, which mechanism is typically used to send email alerts to data stewards?
Answer: SMTP configuration within the workflow engine's notification service
The workflow engine's built-in notification service uses SMTP configuration to send email alerts when tasks are assigned or escalated.
In a hierarchy containing 'Company > Division > Department,' what MDM term describes the 'Division' node relative to 'Department'?
Answer: Parent node
A parent node is the immediate ancestor of a given node in the hierarchy; Division is the direct parent of Department in this structure.
Which configuration in MDM Hub controls the maximum number of levels allowed in a recursive hierarchy?
Answer: Relationship Type's Max Depth property
The Relationship Type configuration includes a Max Depth property that limits how many levels deep a recursive relationship can extend.
In MDM workflow, what happens to a task when the configured SLA (service level agreement) deadline is exceeded?
Answer: The task is escalated to a higher-level role or manager
When an SLA deadline passes, the workflow engine triggers an escalation action, reassigning the task to a supervisory role to ensure timely resolution.
