Are you planning to implement Informatica MDM in your project and starting designing a landing table? Are you also interested in knowing the types of landing table designs? If so, then you have reached the right place. In this article, we will explore factors that need to consider while designing a landing table in Informatica MDM.
A) what is the landing table in Informatica MDM?
Are landing tables are the tables where data from the source is loaded in order to process the data and sent through a stage process to cleanse and standardize it. For the stage process, the landing tables act as source and stage tables as targets.
B) Factors to be considered for landing table design
We need to consider the following factors
While designing landing tables in MDM
1. How many source systems are involved
2. What is the volume from each source system
3. Impact of development timelines
4. Maintenance requirements
5. Partition requirements
C) Type of landing table designs
Based on the Information capture in the previous section, we can design landing tables in two ways
1. One landing table for each source
2. One landing table for multiple sources
1. One landing table for each source
If each source is having different types of data ( e.g.one source is customer-centric and another source is Account centric), if the volume in each source is almost equal, or if we have good development and maintenance bandwidth then we can design one landing table for each source.
2. One landing table for multiple sources
If multiple sources are having similar attributes and data types and volume in each source system is low and if we need to expertise the development time then we can design one landing table for multiple source systems.
