Role: Informatica MDM Lead
Location: Raritan, NJ Onsite
Type: Contract
SQL, PLSQL, Match rules, add new source, mapping is correct
Need people who has experience on backend of Informatica rather than frontend
Backend tables
Writing procedures
Merge and Un-Merge
Do external match
API packages, Data Analysis, Impact analysis, SIF packages
User Exits
How much you know about merge history and xref history..
You also include any MDM performance analysis - Any slow performance observed and how he resolved it or improved performance
What are your strengths
Scenario based Questions:
1) Daily delta volume is ~100k, but buinsess wants to load 2 Million data from a new source in a day.
How will you plan your load? Also how would you estimate the time the load will
take (STG + LOAD + Match and merge process + User Exits) for your load to complete?
So that business is updated accordingly and Daily Production jobs are adjusted for your load window.
Expectations: Should load data in small chunks.
Need to be aware of MDM logs --> block wise processing of data in MDM.
Can use External match + load by Rowid and some more tweaks to complete load faster.
2) Decommissioning of a source data (~5M volume). How would do that?
Again, how will you estimate the time it will take considering daily Production jobs are in progress.
Expectations: Need to be aware of MDM Soft deletes and RecalculateBVT process. Also should be aware
of MDM hard deletes.
3) MDM history table volume is increasing and causing concerns. What steps to be taken
Expectations: We can do archiving of MDM history, and then perform SQL deletes on History tables.
4) How to perform Full load of an existing Source in MDM (on prem)?
Again volume is approx. 6M and how to complete the load efficiently.
5) A MDM reference value is split in to two new values --
Example : An Area code 50 is split into two new values 50A and 50B.
How will this be implemented on all existing Data loaded and sent to downstream?
6)I have a source with 1 Mn records in our MDM for 10 years now. That data used to be purchased but now
we are out of contract with the source. So the source vendor asking us to remove that data from our MDM as contract is over.
How we go about it.
