Informatica MDM Hub supports the following system states: ACTIVE, PENDING, and DELETED.

You can assign a system state to base object records and

cross-reference

records at various stages of the data flow using the Hub tools that work with records. In addition, you can use the various Hub tools for managing your schema to enable state management for a base object, or to set user permissions for controlling who can change the state of a record.

Informatica MDM Hub also supports the concept of

non-contributing

cross-references

(for PENDING states) for data changes that have not yet been approved. A

non-contributing

cross-reference

record does not contribute to the Best Version of the Truth (BVT) of the base object record. As a consequence, the values in the

cross-reference

records do not appear in the base object record while they remain in the PENDING state.
