Configure the stage process for the Informatica MDM Hub by creating
mappings that use functions and cleanse lists to map, move, and
cleanse data between the landing and the staging table
Configure the stage process for the Informatica MDM Hub by setting
options for Delta Detection, Raw data retention, and the Cleanse
Server
Configure the load process for the Informatica MDM Hub
Provide an overview of the match and merge process and its
configuration
