MDM Hub Configuration and Management 3

Question 1

In Informatica MDM Hub, what does a trust score determine?

Accepted Answer

The reliability of a source system's contributed value when populating a golden record field

Answer

Trust scores represent the configured reliability of a source system's data for a specific column, controlling which source value wins in the golden record.

Question 2

Which MDM Hub match type compares two records using phonetic, edit-distance, or other approximate algorithms?

Accepted Answer

Fuzzy match

Answer

Fuzzy matching uses probabilistic algorithms like Jaro-Winkler or Soundex to find records that are similar but not identical, catching typos and variations.

Question 3

What is the purpose of a 'match rule set' in MDM Hub?

Accepted Answer

A collection of individual match rules evaluated together to determine if two records should be merged

Answer

A match rule set groups related match rules and applies them sequentially or in combination to decide whether two candidate records represent the same real-world entity.

Question 4

In MDM Hub's trust framework, what does 'trust decay' mean?

Accepted Answer

The reduction in a source system's trust score over time as data ages

Answer

Trust decay allows administrators to configure a time-based reduction in trust so that older source values are less likely to overwrite more recent contributions.

Question 5

When two records are merged in MDM Hub, what happens to their individual cross-reference records?

Accepted Answer

They are retained and linked to the surviving golden record's ROWID_OBJECT

Answer

After a merge, all contributing cross-reference records point to the winning golden record, preserving the lineage of every source system's contribution.
