About the Schema

About the Schema

The schema is the data model that is used in the MDM Hub implementation.
The MDM Hub does not impose or require any particular schema. The schema exists inside the MDM Hub and is independent of the source systems providing data to the MDM Hub.
The process of schema design for your MDM Hub implementation is outside the scope of this document. It is assumed that you have developed a data model, using industry-standard data modeling methodologies, which caters to the requirements of your organization.
The
Informatica
 schema is a flexible, repository-driven model that supports the data structure of any vertical business sector. The
Hub Store
 is the database that underpins the MDM Hub functionality. Every MDM Hub installation has a
Hub Store
, which includes one
MDM Hub Master Database
 and one or more
Operational Reference Store
 databases. Based on the configuration of your system, you can have multiple
Operational Reference Store
 databases in an installation. For example, you could have a development
Operational Reference Store
, a testing
Operational Reference Store
, and a production
Operational Reference Store
.
Before you begin to implement the schema, you must understand the basic structure of the underlying MDM Hub schema and the components that comprise it.
You must use
Hub Console
 tools to define and manage the consolidated schema. You cannot make changes directly to the database. For example, you must use the Schema Manager to define tables and columns.
