Accelerators are content bundles that address common data quality problems in a country, a region, or an industry. An accelerator might contain mapplets or rule specifications that you can use to analyze and enhance the data in an organization. An accelerator might also contain data domains that you can use to discover the types of information that the data contains.
You import the mapplets, rule specifications, and data domains to the Model repository. Informatica configures the objects to respond to the business rules that you might define for the organization data.
The accelerators use the terms
mapplet
and
rule
to identify a mapplet. When you import the mapplets to the Model repository, the Developer tool creates the mapplet objects in a folder named
Rules
.
Informatica Data Quality includes a Core accelerator and a Core Data Domain accelerator. You can buy and download additional accelerators from Informatica.
