MDM Data Integration & Synchronization Techniques 4

Question 1

What is the role of 'tokenization' in Informatica MDM's match process?

Accepted Answer

Generating standardized search keys from record attributes to enable efficient matching

Answer

Tokenization generates match tokens (standardized search keys) from record attributes, allowing the match engine to efficiently identify potential duplicate records.

Question 2

An organization wants to synchronize MDM golden records with a Salesforce CRM in near-real-time. Which Informatica capability is best suited for this integration?

Accepted Answer

Informatica Cloud Data Integration (IICS) with MDM SaaS connector

Answer

Informatica Cloud Data Integration (IICS) provides pre-built connectors and real-time synchronization capabilities between MDM and cloud applications like Salesforce.

Question 3

In Informatica MDM, what does 'unmerge' allow data stewards to do?

Accepted Answer

Separate previously merged source records back into independent records

Answer

Unmerge allows data stewards to reverse an incorrect merge by separating the source records that were consolidated into a golden record, creating distinct records again.

Question 4

Which MDM Hub configuration controls how frequently the batch consolidation job runs automatically in a scheduled integration scenario?

Accepted Answer

The job scheduler configuration within the MDM Hub or an external scheduler like Control-M

Answer

Batch consolidation jobs are scheduled via the MDM Hub's built-in scheduler or an external enterprise scheduler, controlling the frequency of match-merge cycles.

Question 5

When multiple source systems provide the same entity (e.g., a customer), Informatica MDM creates one golden record. What mechanism links the golden record back to all contributing source records?

Accepted Answer

The XREF (cross-reference) table

Answer

The XREF table stores the cross-references between each golden record's ROWID_OBJECT and the source system records that contributed to it, preserving full data lineage.
