A client application to access the

MDM Hub

features. Use the

Hub Console

to configure the

Hub Store

to connect to and synchronize with the Model repository. Also, you use the

Hub Console

to enable the

MDM Hub

staging tables for Informatica platform staging.

A J2EE application that processes data within the Hub Store and integrates the

MDM Hub

with the Informatica platform. The

Hub Server

is the run-time component that manages core and common services for the

MDM Hub

.

Stores and consolidates business data for the

MDM Hub

. You enable staging tables in a specific

Operational Reference Store

in the

Hub Store

for Informatica platform staging. When you synchronize the staging tables with the Model repository, the Model Repository Service updates the Model repository with the

Hub Store

metadata. During the stage process, data from source systems move to a staging table that is associated with a base object in the Hub Store.

Application client that you can use to edit the data objects and mapplets that the synchronization process creates. Use the Developer tool to create the mapping that you must run for the stage process. Objects that you can view in the Developer tool are stored in the Model repository and are run by the Data Integration Service. To perform staging, run mappings in the Developer tool.

An application service in the Informatica domain that loads data into the staging tables through the mappings that you create in the Developer tool. The Data Integration Service processes the requests it receives from the Developer tool, runs the mappings, and loads data into the

MDM Hub

staging tables.

An application service that manages the Model repository. The Data Integration Service depends on the Model Repository Service. When you access a Model repository object from the Developer tool or the Data Integration Service, a request is sent to the Model Repository Service. The Model Repository Service fetches, inserts, and updates the metadata in the Model repository database tables.

A repository that stores metadata in a relational database. It stores metadata from the

MDM Hub

. When you synchronize the

MDM Hub

staging tables with the Model repository, the metadata from the

Hub Store

is synchronized with the Model repository. The synchronization process creates objects based on the staging tables.
