MDM Workflow Configuration & Hierarchy Management 5

Question 1

In Informatica MDM Hub, which API is used by external applications to programmatically create and advance workflow tasks?

Accepted Answer

SIF (Services Integration Framework) API

Answer

The Services Integration Framework (SIF) API exposes workflow operations such as task creation, state transitions, and task queries to external callers.

Question 2

Which MDM Hub configuration prevents a user from approving their own submitted record in a workflow?

Accepted Answer

Self-approval restriction in Task Type configuration

Answer

The Task Type configuration includes a self-approval restriction option that prevents the submitter from also acting as the approver on the same record.

Question 3

When a hierarchy relationship record has both 'Start Date' and 'End Date' populated, what MDM hierarchy feature is being utilized?

Accepted Answer

Temporal or time-variant hierarchy modeling

Answer

Populating start and end dates on relationship records enables temporal hierarchy modeling, allowing the system to represent how organizational structures change over time.

Question 4

A business requirement mandates that all supplier records undergo a compliance check workflow before activation. Where in Hub Console is this workflow requirement enforced?

Accepted Answer

State transition configuration on the base object's state machine

Answer

State machine configuration on the base object defines which transitions require workflow approval, ensuring compliance checks occur before records reach the Active state.

Question 5

In hierarchy management, what distinguishes a 'fixed hierarchy' from a 'network hierarchy' in Informatica MDM?

Accepted Answer

Fixed hierarchies have strict tree structures with single parents; network hierarchies allow multiple parents per node

Answer

Fixed hierarchies enforce a strict tree structure (one parent per node), while network hierarchies allow nodes to have multiple parents, forming a directed acyclic graph.
