MDM Trust Framework and Confidence Scoring 3

Question 1

What is the effect of setting a high decay rate for a source system's trust configuration in Informatica MDM?

Accepted Answer

The trust score will decrease more rapidly as time passes without a data refresh

Answer

The source system's data will be loaded and processed faster

Answer

The source system will receive higher initial base trust scores

Answer

Validation rules will be applied more strictly to data from that source

Question 2

When Override is set to TRUE for a source system column trust configuration, what is the expected behavior?

Accepted Answer

Data from this source will always overwrite the existing golden record value regardless of trust scores

Answer

The source system will bypass all data validation rules during loading

Answer

The source system can override the security permissions on protected records

Answer

The source can update records that are owned and locked by other source systems

Question 3

What is the practical benefit of Trust Score Decay in real-world Informatica MDM implementations?

Accepted Answer

To reduce the influence of stale source data on the golden record over time

Answer

To automatically archive old records that have not been accessed recently

Answer

To penalize source systems that consistently submit duplicate records

Answer

To gradually purge records that have not been matched in recent batch runs

Question 4

Which Informatica MDM feature allows data stewards to manually override the trust-based survivorship result for a specific field on the golden record?

Accepted Answer

Manual value pinning through Informatica Data Director (IDD)

Answer

Batch API override endpoint

Answer

Trust Score Reset utility in Hub Console

Answer

Source system trust elevation via Schema Manager

Question 5

What is the primary advantage of the Trust Framework over a simple 'last-write-wins' survivorship strategy in Informatica MDM?

Accepted Answer

It allows multiple source systems to contribute field values based on their configured reliability

Answer

It reduces storage requirements for master data in the Hub Store

Answer

It eliminates the need for human data stewardship entirely

Answer

It automatically synchronizes the golden record back to all source systems in real time

Question 6

In Informatica MDM, what does a 'source system contribution' define in the context of the trust framework?

Accepted Answer

The configured trust parameters governing how a source system's values compete during survivorship

Answer

The financial cost charged by a source system owner for data access licensing

Answer

The total number of records provided by a source system in a single batch load

Answer

The technical connector type and protocol used to extract data from a source

Question 7

Which statement correctly describes how Informatica MDM handles trust when a source system provides a null value for a configured column?

Accepted Answer

The behavior depends on the null handling configuration within the column's trust settings

Answer

A null value always wins because it resets the golden record field

Answer

A null is always ignored and the existing golden record value is unconditionally retained

Answer

The trust score is doubled to indicate the source intentionally cleared the value
