Informatica Master Data Management

Multidomain MDM creates and maintains master data, which is a collection of core entities along with their attributes and their values that are critical to a business.

Objects Extracted

You can use the Informatica MDM resource to extract metadata from the following assets in an Informatica MDM data source:

•Business entities

•Business entity views

•Staging tables

•Landing tables

•Relationships

•Base objects

•Cross reference tables

•Attribute information of all business entities

You can view lineage for the following assets in the Catalog:

•Landing tables and staging tables

•Staging tables and cross reference tables

•Cross reference tables and base objects

•Base objects and business entities

Note: Enterprise Data Catalog version 10.4.1 supports Multidomain MDM version 10.4.0 or later.

Viewing Detailed Lineage between Informatica MDM and Informatica Platform Resources

To view the detailed lineage between Informatica MDM and Informatica Platform resources for data quality, and data integration mappings, perform the following steps:

1. Create and run an Informatica MDM resource.

2. Create an Informatica Platform resource, and enable Detailed Lineage for the resource.

3. Run the Informatica Platform resource.

Note: Verify that the Informatica Platform mappings and MDM are integrated for staging. For more information, see the How to Integrate the MDM Hub with Informatica Platform for Staging article in the Informatica Doc Portal.

4. Use the Connection Assignment option to configure the MDM and Informatica Platform resources as destination or target data sources. For more information about assigning connections, see the Managing Connections topic.

Note: Verify that the resource scan status of both the resources is complete before performing connection assignment.
