What are the MDM Best Practices for Working With Batch Jobs?
In this article we will see different Informatica MDM Best Practices for Batch Jobs. This article gives overall idea about various points to be taken into account while running Batch Jobs such as Stage Jobs, Load Jobs, Match Jobs, Merge Jobs.
-
Schema : The very first point you have to take into account is create proper schema as per business requirement. Schema is very important for any activity in Informatica MDM Hub. If schema is not present then there is nothing to do with any batch job.
-
Parallel Processes : In order to avoid issues with MDM Hub related to process, limit the number of parallel process. If more number of parallel processes are created then it will lead to insufficiency in resources. So try to avoid using more parallel processes.
-
Mappings in State Jobs : Define mapping first before running stage jobs. Mappings are used to perform transformation of data in Stage tables.
-
Match Rules : Define match rules before running Match Jobs. If no match rules are set then there will not be match records found after Match Job run.
-
Production Jobs :
i) Before running any production batch jobs, run the test with small data sets
ii) Run the individual component such as cleanse engine component to determine whether each component is working properly or not.
ii) After individual component test is successful, integrate all the component and test entire module with sample data and check whether everything is working fine or not.
Above the major points need to be considered while running the Batch Jobs in MDM Hub.
