The following image shows the Informatica platform stage process where source data is directly transferred from a data source to an

MDM Hub

staging table:

To run the Informatica platform staging, you must integrate the

MDM Hub

with the Informatica platform. Use the Hub Console to integrate the MDM Hub with the Informatica platform. Configure connection parameters to the Model Repository Service, after which you must enable Informatica platform staging and synchronize the

MDM Hub

with the Model repository. The synchronization creates data objects that you can edit by using the Developer tool.

After you synchronize the

MDM Hub

with the Model Repository Service, you create a mapping by using the objects that the synchronization process creates. When you run the stage process, the Data Integration Service processes the source data and transfers the data to the

MDM Hub

staging table.

During the stage process, the data that the Data Integration Service might reject are managed in the Model repository. When you perform Informatica platform staging, you cannot set up delta detection, hard delete detection, and audit trails.

The stage process prepares data for the load process, which later loads data from the staging table into a target base object.
