Displaying Data in the Data Manager

To display data in the Data Manager, start the Data Manager. The Hub Console displays the Data Manager Setup screen. This graphic shows a completed screen with base object and package choices. Both base objects and package choices are created by the administrator.

In the

Select the base object to view

section, select your base object from the list of base objects defined in your Informatica MDM Hub environment.

These base objects were defined by your Hub architect. Your choice of base objects determines which packages are displayed in the package selection section.

In the

Select the package to use to display the data

section, select a package.

The Informatica MDM Hub administrator creates these packages, depending on your business needs.

Use a PUT package (which consists of columns from the base object selected in the Setup screen) to edit data and view cell-level comparisons between the survived values in the base object and a selected cross-reference record.

Use a Display package for read-only purposes.

Display packages can include data from many base objects, such as Customer and Address, and will show multiple records in the Data Manager if a customer has more than one address.

For more information about packages, see “Configuring Queries and Packages” in the

Multidomain MDM Configuration Guide

Check with your Hub Administrator if you do not see the list of available packages. You must be granted permission to use this tool. In addition, you must also be granted the ability to use the GET and PUT commands for packages.

If an administrator makes a change to the package you are currently using, you must refresh the display to see that change.

Select the single option (Search Wizard) in the Query drop-down box.

The Search Wizard allows you to specify the criteria for displaying records.

Select the number of records to return per page.

The Search Wizard allows you to specify the criteria for displaying records.

Click

Begin Administration

If you selected the

query, the Search Wizard prompts you to specify filter criteria for limiting the list of records displayed in the Data Manager screen. The filter parameters you see are based on your earlier base object choices and package choices.

You must enter search criteria or the Data Steward will return all the records in the database. If you do not enter any data, and your system has a very large data set, your query might take a long time and might impact your system’s performance.

Click

Add Parameter

to add a query parameter. Your available choices in the second field depend on the choice you made in the first field.

Once you have set your query parameters, click

Finish

The Data Manager records screen is displayed.

The Data Manager records screen displays base object records that meet the criteria you entered, regardless of the state of the records (queued for merging, new, or consolidated).The number of records per page is determined by the setting on the Data Manager setup screen. If you have not defined that value, then Informatica MDM Hub uses the default page size your administrator defined for the schema.

When you sort in Merge Manager or Data Manager, you are sorting the current page of data—not the entire data set. To find rows that are similar, you must do a search from the setup page of these tools.
