Informatica platform staging is deprecated in version 10.4. You can still use Informatica Data Integration and Informatica Data Quality to directly load data into the MDM Hub staging tables. This requires you to manually synchronize changes to the staging tables with the Informatica Data Integration and Informatica Data Quality repositories. Alternatively, use MDM Hub staging.
Informatica platform staging is the process to load source data directly into the MDM Hub staging tables. To perform Informatica platform staging, you must integrate the
MDM Hub
with the Informatica platform. When you integrate the
MDM Hub
with the Informatica platform, the Data Integration Service loads source data directly into the MDM Hub staging tables.
To integrate the
MDM Hub
with the Informatica platform, install the
MDM Hub
and the Informatica platform components, such as the Informatica application services and Informatica Developer (the Developer tool). After you install the services, create the Data Integration Service and the Model Repository Service. Use the
Hub Console
to integrate the
MDM Hub
with the Informatica platform.
Synchronize changes to the staging table with the Model repository. The synchronization process creates the data objects that the Data Integration Service uses for staging.
After the synchronization, you create mappings that load data from the data source to the staging tables. When you run the mappings, the Data Integration Service loads source data directly into the
MDM Hub
staging tables. Data does not go through the landing tables. To perform cleanse operations during the stage process, configure transformations in the mapping.
When you perform Informatica platform staging, you cannot set up delta detection, hard delete detection, and audit trails.
