Match Analyze jobs perform a search to gather metrics but do not conduct any actual matching.
If areas of data with the potential for huge match requirements (hot spots) are discovered, Informatica MDM Hub moves these records to an on-hold status to prevent overmatching. Records that are on hold have a consolidation indicator of 9, which allows a data steward to review the data manually in the Data Manager tool before proceeding with the match and consolidation. Match Analyze jobs are typically used to tune match rules or simply to determine whether data for a base object is overly “matchy” or has large intersections of data (“hot spots”) that will result in overmatching.
