Are you looking for the details about the validation of Informatica MDM components after installation or upgrade or patch fix? Are you also looking for what functionalities we need to validate in IDD or Informatica MDM hub? If yes, then you reached the right place. In this article, we will understand component validation details. So let's start.
1. Informatica MDM Hub Validation
2. Informatica Data Director Validation
3. Provisioning Tool Validation
4. Active VOS Validations
A) Validation of Data Director access-
i) Use the Data Director Configuration Manager URL and try to access it. then access the Informatica Data Director application using the username and password.
B) Validation of Informatica Data Director-
i) Create search query using fields from Subject Area and Subject Area child fields and make sure able to create, edit, and delete the queries.

i) Verify that all the Business Entity are present in the provisioning tool
ii) Verify all the transformation between View to Business Entity and Business Entity to View as well as Business Entity to Business Entity
iii) Verify all the views
iv) Verify Task configuration such as Task Type, Task Triggers etc
C) Verify Elastic Search configuration
i) Verify Elastic Search server configuration under Infrastructure settings
ii) Verify all layout manager, application configuration
i) Verify status of Active VOS in Active VOS console
ii) Verify Identity Service connection from AVOS console
iii) Verify all the workflows are in a deployed status
iv) Verify all the task in running state
