This section describes how to add packages to your schema using the Hierarchies tool. You can create packages for entity base objects, relationship base objects, and foreign key relationship base objects. If records will be inserted or changed in the package, be sure to enable the Put option.
A package is a public view of one or more underlying tables in
Informatica MDM Hub
. Packages represent subsets of the columns in those tables, along with any other tables that are joined to the tables. A package is based on a query. The underlying query can select a subset of records from the table or from another package. Packages are used for configuring user views of the underlying data.
You must first create a package, then you must associate it with Entity Types or Relationship Types. In the case of display packages for foreign key relationship objects, you must include REL_START_DATE and REL_END_DATE columns in the package.
You must configure a package and validate the associated profile before you run a load job.
