MDM Stewardship and Workflows 5

Question 1

Which Informatica MDM capability allows a steward to see a complete record of all changes made to a golden record over time, including who made each change?

Accepted Answer

History Manager / audit trail

Answer

The History Manager and audit trail in MDM record every change to a golden record, including field-level edits, merge events, and the identity of the user who made each change.

Question 2

In Informatica MDM's workflow system, what is the difference between a 'claim' and an 'assignment' for a task?

Accepted Answer

Claim means a steward voluntarily takes a pooled task; assignment means a manager or system explicitly routes it to a specific steward

Answer

Claiming lets a steward pull a task from a shared pool, while assignment is when the system or a manager explicitly routes the task to a named individual.

Question 3

A business rule requires that any record whose 'Annual Revenue' field is changed by a steward must trigger a secondary approval from the Finance team. Which workflow mechanism implements this?

Accepted Answer

Conditional workflow branching based on field change detection

Answer

Conditional workflow branching evaluates whether a specific field was modified and can route the record to an additional approval step when the condition is true.

Question 4

When integrating Informatica MDM with an external BPEL engine for workflows, which protocol is used to communicate task events between MDM Hub and the workflow engine?

Accepted Answer

Web services / SOAP or REST API calls

Answer

MDM Hub communicates with external workflow engines like ActiveVOS using web service calls (SOAP/REST), sending and receiving task lifecycle events programmatically.

Question 5

A steward notices that a workflow task has been in the 'Pending' state for 10 days with no action. Which MDM configuration would have automatically escalated this task to a supervisor after 3 days?

Accepted Answer

Workflow deadline timer with escalation action

Answer

A workflow deadline timer configured with an escalation action automatically triggers reassignment or notification when a task exceeds the allowed inactivity period.
