MDM Data Governance & Quality Management 3

Question 1

In Informatica MDM's data quality lifecycle, which stage comes immediately after standardization and before match/merge?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

A governance committee wants to track who approved a merge of two customer records in Informatica MDM. Which capability provides this audit trail?

Accepted Answer

MDM Hub audit logging and history tables

Answer

MDM Hub maintains audit logs and history tables (e.g., _HIST tables) that record every change, approval, and merge action along with the user who performed it.

Question 3

What is the role of a 'data domain' in the context of Informatica MDM governance?

Accepted Answer

A logical grouping of related master data entities subject to unified stewardship policies

Answer

A data domain defines a governance boundary around related entities (e.g., Customer, Product) so that consistent policies, ownership, and quality rules can be applied cohesively.

Question 4

Which metric is most directly associated with measuring data completeness in an Informatica MDM golden record?

Accepted Answer

Percentage of mandatory attributes populated across all master records

Answer

Completeness is measured by how many required fields are populated; tracking the fill rate of mandatory attributes directly reflects this dimension.

Question 5

In Informatica MDM Hub, what happens to a record placed in a 'pending' state within the workflow?

Accepted Answer

It is held for steward review before being promoted to the base object

Answer
