Get Details of MDH Models Present in The Boomi Account
Overview:
- Master Data Management (MDM) is a collaborative data governance process involving cooperation between business and IT departments.
- Together, they cleanse, enrich, publish, and safeguard common information entities crucial for enterprise.
- With Master Data Hub, each source communicates exclusively with the HUB for providing or receiving updates from any other source. This substantially diminishes the necessity for numerous integration processes to uphold high-quality data across all locations.
Repositories:
- In Boomi’s HUB Cloud, repositories are as virtual containers to securely store your confirmed and reliable data.
- Once a repository is generated, an associated cloud atom with the repository’s name appears on the integration platform.
- Each repository is provided with a distinct username and token for individualized and secure access.
Models:
- The model serves to standardize and structure data elements by identifying the essential fields.
- The creation of a model involves specifying data fields and sources, implementing match rules, applying conditions for data quality, defining record title formats, and assigning tags.
Master Data Hub REST APIs Types:
- Platform API
- Repository API
