Informatica MDM Hub comes with a standard set of cleanse functions that consist of common string manipulation functions, logical operations, data conversion functions, and pre-built cleanse lists (a specific type of cleanse function). You can combine these standard functions into custom functions that perform data manipulation specific to the data cleanse requirements of a particular source system.

A number of custom cleanse functions have been created as part of the sample ORS configuration. These functions can be found in the Cleanse Function tool. They are stored in the Custom, CustomUtilityLibrary, General Processing, and IDD Cleanse and Validation Library folders. There are also some sample cleanse lists in the Noise Filters folder.

In addition to these custom functions, the sample ORS contains cleanse function libraries (folders) for third-party data quality tools (for example,

Informatica Address Verification

) and third-party data service providers. You can access the functionality of these products using special adapters developed on the Informatica MDM Open Cleanse architecture that allows for plugging-in third-party data quality tools.

These third-party cleanse adapters can be purchased separately, as needed, from Informatica. For more details, please contact your Informatica Account Manager.
