Modes for Informatica Data Director

Modes for Informatica Data Director

Data Director
 now has three modes. After you upgrade the
Multidomain MDM
 software,
Data Director
 continues to display the application based on subject areas. After you migrate an application to business entities, you can switch to the E360 views and features.
The following table describes the different modes:
Mode
Description
User Interface
Legacy Mode
If you do not migrate your application to the business entities, use the Legacy mode. You continue to see the legacy views and functionality for subject areas.
You continue to use the IDD Configuration Manager to manage your applications.
If your legacy IDD application includes workflows, you must generate the business entity schema as a requirement for
Data Director
 to manage the workflow tasks. However, you continue to use subject areas. You have not migrated to business entities.
The Legacy mode displays the following interface elements:
  • New
     tab, which opens the
    New
     window with subject areas
  • Home
     page
  • Data
     tab with the following temporary interfaces:
    • Subject area record views to edit and manage records
    • Search tabs with search queries and search query results
    • Task tabs to manage tasks
  • Links to the
    Data
     view from menus on other views
  • Custom tabs, if configured
E360 Mode
If you migrate to business entities, select the E360 mode. Business users can use the E360 views and functionality for business entities.
You use the Provisioning tool to manage your migrated applications.
The E360 mode is the default mode for new customers. New customers start with business entities and the E360 views.
Displays the following interface elements:
  • New
     tab, which opens the
    New
     window with business entities
  • Home
     page, which you design
  • Task Manager
     tab to manage tasks
  • Search
     tab with search results
  • Entity tabs to edit and manage business entity records. Entity tabs appear when you add a new business entity record or open a business entity record from search results. The label on the tab is dynamic, based on the action that opens the workspace.
  • Links to the
    Business Entity
     view from menus on other views
  • Custom tabs, if configured
Hybrid Mode
If you migrate to business entities, but you want to access to all the views and features for both subject areas and business entities, use the Hybrid mode.
If you need to make a change to the schema while in Hybrid mode, you must make the change twice: first in the IDD Configuration Manager and again in the Provisioning tool. Informatica recommends that you use the Hybrid mode only on a temporary basis.
Displays all the interface elements from the Legacy mode and the E360 mode.
This document assumes that you are migrating to the E360 mode. If you want to use the Legacy mode or the Hybrid mode, see IDD Modes FAQs before you begin the migration.
