Data Discovery Portal Overview

Use the Data Discovery portal to search for transactions that are archived to the Data Vault. You can search across applications or within an entity. You can also apply retention policies, legal holds, or tags to archive data through the Data Discovery portal.

You can access a transaction in Data Vault from an external application. You create a customized URL that contains information about the entity and table the transaction belongs to. You use the URL to access data from the Data Vault.

Enable the following options in Data Discovery:

Search Data Vault: Use Search Data Vault to search for records across applications in Data Vault. You must first specify columns that you want to use in Search Data Vault. Then, create a search index of these columns. Only values from indexed columns can trigger a search. For example, if the user wants to search for records containing the word Emily, the search results display records if the word Emily is in an indexed column.

Search Within an Entity: Use Search Within an Entity to access records within an entity in Data Vault. You can define search options for each entity in an application version. When you define search options, you specify the columns to include as search parameters and the columns to display and sort on in the search results. If you do not define search options, you can use any column as a search parameter and all columns appear in the results. Users might not need all columns to search with or view in the results. For example, if you do not want to include unused columns in the search or search results, select columns with data to search with and display. Or, if the original application permitted you to search for data by using the column Vendor Name but not Vendor ID, then to avoid confusion, present the same search elements for archived data. Choose the column Vendor Name as a search option.

Mask Sensitive Data: You can mask or block sensitive information in Data Vault from appearing in search results or in data visualization reports. When you configure Dynamic Data Masking, queries sent to Data Vault go through Dynamic Data Masking. Dynamic Data Masking applies masking rules based on the Data Vault access role assigned to the user. Fields that a user does not have privileges to appear masked in the search results.; You must install and configure Informatica Dynamic Data Masking. For more information on masking data in Data Vault, see the
Informatica Dynamic Data Masking Data Archive Accelerator Guide
.

Integrate with E-Discovery Solutions: You can bridge the gap between a legal hold notification and the point of data preservation by integrating Data Archive with Exterro Fusion, an e-discovery solution. Users can search and preserve data in Data Vault directly from the Exterro Fusion user interface.
