Which SIF API enables external systems to invoke a Cleanse function on a set of input data without persisting the result to the Hub?
Answer: ExecuteCleanseFunction
ExecuteCleanseFunction invokes a configured cleanse function and returns the cleansed output without writing data to the MDM Hub.
In Informatica MDM SIF, what is a 'SiperianObjectUIDList' used for?
Answer: To pass multiple object identifiers in a single SIF request targeting several records at once
SiperianObjectUIDList allows a single SIF request to reference multiple records by supplying a list of their unique identifiers.
What is the effect of setting the 'systemName' in a SIF request when inserting or updating records in MDM Hub?
Answer: It identifies the source system of record for the cross-reference entry being created or updated
The systemName in a SIF request associates the inbound record with a registered source system, creating a cross-reference entry tied to that source.
Which SIF response element provides information about why a SIF call failed, including error codes and descriptive messages?
Answer: SiperianCrossReference / fault detail in SOAP fault
Failed SIF calls return SOAP faults with a fault detail containing SIF error codes and descriptive messages explaining the failure reason.
In SIF, what does the 'depth' parameter control when calling GetHierarchyRelationships?
Answer: How many levels of the hierarchy tree are traversed and returned in the response
The depth parameter specifies how many levels deep the hierarchy traversal will go when returning parent-child relationships.
Which SIF API call is used to programmatically run the Match batch process on a specific base object?
Answer: ProcessBatch with batch type MATCH
ProcessBatch with the MATCH batch type triggers the match process on a base object to identify potential duplicate records.
What is the purpose of the 'interactionId' field returned in a SIF asynchronous response?
Answer: It is a correlation ID that allows the caller to poll for or retrieve the result of an async SIF request
The interactionId is a correlation token returned for asynchronous SIF calls, enabling the client to later retrieve the processing result.
