MDM Architecture and Datamodel 3

Question 1

Which MDM Hub concept describes the relationship between a source record and its corresponding golden record in the base object?

Accepted Answer

Cross-reference (XREF)

Answer

A cross-reference (XREF) record links each source system record to its corresponding golden master record in the base object, preserving origin traceability.

Question 2

In MDM Hub, what is the purpose of 'Cleanse Functions' applied during the Stage process?

Accepted Answer

To standardize, parse, and enrich field values before they enter base objects

Answer

Cleanse Functions transform raw source data during staging by standardizing formats, parsing composite fields, and enriching values before matching and consolidation.

Question 3

What is a 'Package' in the context of Informatica MDM Hub Services Integration Framework (SIF)?

Accepted Answer

A named query definition that exposes base object data via SIF APIs

Answer

A Package in MDM Hub SIF is a named, predefined query that defines which base object columns and relationships are exposed through the SIF API for reading or writing master data.

Question 4

Which MDM Hub architectural layer is responsible for executing cleanse, match, and merge batch processes?

Accepted Answer

Process Server (Cleanse Match Server)

Answer

The Process Server (also called Cleanse Match Server) executes the batch cleanse, tokenization, match, and consolidation jobs that produce the golden master records.

Question 5

In MDM Hub's data model, what distinguishes a 'Relationship Base Object' from a standard base object?

Accepted Answer

It represents many-to-many associations between two base objects using foreign key columns

Answer

A Relationship Base Object models many-to-many associations between two entities by storing foreign key references to both related base objects, enabling complex relationship tracking.
