Preface 5
Chapter 1

Configuring data quality


You can associate data quality rules with the business entity fields to cleanse, standardize, or validate the
field values. For example, you can remove unwanted punctuation marks or spaces, standardize the date
format, or verify phone numbers. Data quality rules help improve the quality and consistency of data.

You can associate data quality rules based on simple conditions, Cloud Data Quality, and DaaS with business
entity fields. You can also add integrity checks to business entity fields only. When you add or import records,
the rule associations validate and transform the records, and store them in the data store.

When validation fails, you can downgrade the trust score of the field, and that helps determine the confidence
level of the source data.

Note: When you configure data quality rules for picklists, MDM SaaS runs the data quality rules on the code
values of the selected reference data. The rule validation considers only the code and not the name of the
code value.

For example, if you configure a basic rule association with a lowercase function for the Country picklist, MDM
SaaS runs the rule association on the code IN. It doesn't run the rule association on the name India.

Chapter 2

Types of rule associations


You can create different types of rule associations for business entity fields.

Use the following rule association types:

• Basic rule associations


• Advanced rule associations
• DaaS rule associations
• Integrity checks

Basic rule associations


A basic rule association is an association between a business entity field and a simple condition-based rule.
When you create basic rule associations, you configure conditions, which are predefined functions, such as
Regular Match and Concatenate.

For example, Smith Store wants to master data from a newly acquired business. Smith Store wants to
combine the first name and last name of each customer to generate the full name to print on the receipt.
Smith Store can associate a basic rule with the Full Name field and concatenate the first name and last name
values.

Note: You can't add basic rule associations for boolean fields.

When you configure basic rule associations, you configure conditions that transform or validate field values.
To set the conditions, you can use the predefined validation functions or the predefined transformation
functions. A validation function validates whether data matches the specified condition. A transformation
function transforms source data.

The following table describes the validation functions that you can use:

Function Description

Maximum Length Validates whether the length of a string is less than or equal to the specified length.

Minimum Length Validates whether the length of a string is greater than or equal to the specified length.

Starts With Validates whether a string starts with the specified string.

Ends With Validates whether a string ends with the specified string.

7
Function Description

No Spaces Validates whether a string does not contain spaces.

Contains Validates whether a value contains the specified string in the exact order.

Does Not Contain Validates whether a value does not contain the specified string in the exact order.

Allowed Validates whether a value contains the specified allowed characters.


Characters

Not Allowed Validates whether a value contains the specified characters that are not allowed.
Characters

Regular Match Validates whether a string matches with the specified regular expression pattern.

External Validates the field data based on an external validation rule that is associated to a Cloud
Validation Application Integration process. The Cloud Application Integration process uses external APIs to
validate the data.
For more information about creating a process, see Cloud Application Integration Design.

Date Range Validates whether a date is in between two specified dates.

Greater Than Date Validates whether a date is greater than the specified date.

Lesser Than Date Validates whether a date is less than the specified date.

No Future Date Validates whether a date is not a future date.

Maximum Decimal Validates whether the number of decimal places is less than or equal to the specified value.
Scale

Minimum Value Validates whether a numerical value is greater than or equal to the specified value.

Maximum Value Validates whether a numerical value is less than or equal to the specified value.

Maximum Validates whether the total number of digits in a decimal number is less than or equal to the
Precision specified value.

Note: When you define a basic rule association with a maximum or minimum value, the rule considers only
the first 16 digits of numeric values. For example, if you specify 20 as the maximum value and the input is
20.09123456904589098743, the rule considers 20.09123456904589 and ignores the remaining digits.

The following table describes the transformation functions that you can use:

Function Description

Concatenate Concatenates two or more strings.

Concatenate With Concatenates two or more strings with spaces in between.


Spaces

Uppercase Converts lowercase string characters to uppercase.

Lowercase Converts uppercase string characters to lowercase.

8 Chapter 2: Types of rule associations


Function Description

Title Case Capitalizes the first character in each word of a string and converts all other characters to
lowercase.

Left Trim Removes spaces from the beginning of a string.

Right Trim Removes spaces at the end of a string.

Replace Replaces a character set in a string with another character set.

Advanced rule associations


An advanced rule association is an association between business entity fields and a Cloud Data Quality rule
specification. You can use the predefined rule specifications, or create custom rule specifications in Cloud
Data Quality and use them.

The supported predefined rule specification is DUNS SSN Validation that validates the DUNS and Social
Security numbers.

You can create advanced rule associations to validate input fields that are empty. Based on the rule
specification, the advanced rule association validates the input fields in the business application. If the input
fields are empty, the rule returns a value for the empty fields.

For more information about creating or editing rule specifications in Cloud Data Quality, see Rule
specification assets in Cloud Data Quality.

Guidelines for advanced rule associations


When you define advanced rule associations, you need to define rule outputs.

Consider the following guidelines to define advanced rule associations:

• To ensure the success of the business entity field comparison operation in Business 360 Console, use
integer or string values in the rule statement output in Cloud Data Quality.
• When you configure an advanced rule association for a transformation function, set rule statement output
values for all the conditions in Cloud Data Quality to generate values in the output field.
• When you modify a rule specification in Cloud Data Quality, select the rule specification again or reset the
fields of the advanced rule association in Business 360 Console. Otherwise, the changes to the rule
specification aren't effective when the rule is executed.
• Advanced rule associations for date fields with a rule specification that contains the current_timestamp
function in Cloud Data Quality return the output in the UTC timezone. To display the date field in other
timezones, configure the rule specification with a different timestamp function.
• When you configure advanced rule association in Business 360 Console, ensure that you don't select a
rule specification configured with advanced mode from Cloud Data Quality.

Advanced rule associations 9


DaaS rule associations
A DaaS rule association is an association between a field group and Informatica Data as a Service (DaaS).

You can use the DaaS rule association only on the fields that store postal addresses, email addresses and
phone numbers. To use the required DaaS services, add valid license keys in the Global Settings page.

Integrity checks
You can configure integrity checks to validate business entity records. Integrity checks are a unique type of
data quality check that can only be configured for the business entity record attributes.

You can configure integrity checks based on the following criteria:

• Business entity attribute. Checks the business entity records based on other business entity attributes
and values. For example, you can configure an integrity check to verify that the date of incorporation for a
company is before or after a specific date.
• Relationship attribute. Checks the business entity records based on relationship attributes. For example,
you can configure an integrity check to verify that a relationship exists between an employee and an
organization from a specific date.
• Relationship. Checks the business entity record to verify that a specific relationship exists. For example,
you can configure an integrity check to verify that a relationship exists between an employee and a
manager.

If a business entity record fails an integrity check, a warning appears in the related records table. To help
users understand the warning, you must also configure an error message for each integrity check.

Chapter 4

Changing the execution order of


basic rule associations
When you have multiple basic rule associations for a business entity field, set their order of execution to
obtain clean and correct data. For example, if you want to concatenate the first name and last name of a
person, you might need to validate the length of the strings first. In this case, you first run the rule
association to validate the length of the names, and then run the rule association to concatenate the names.
If a business entity field contains basic and advanced rule associations, the basic rule associations run first.

1. On the Basic tab, click Change Order.


The Change Order dialog box appears.
2. Use the up and down arrows to change the order of the rule associations.

Chapter 7

Adding DaaS rule associations


Use DaaS rule associations to validate and enrich postal addresses in batches and real time. You can also
use DaaS rule associations to validate email addresses and phone numbers in real time.

To validate and enrich addresses in batches, a DaaS rule association uses an address verifier asset from
Cloud Data Quality. To validate and enrich addresses in real time, a DaaS rule association uses Informatica
Address Verification. To validate email addresses in real-time, a DaaS rule association uses Informatica
Email Verification. To validate phone numbers in real time, a DaaS rule association uses Informatica Global
Phone Validation.

For more information about adding license details, see Configure Global Settings.

DaaS rule association for batch processing


To validate and enrich the address values in the records that you import in bulk, use the predefined address
verifier asset from Cloud Data Quality. The predefined address verifier asset contains a predefined mapping
of the input and output fields.

Note: You can't add a DaaS rule association to validate and enrich an email, phone, and custom field groups
in batches.

Adding DaaS rule association to address field groups


You can verify and enrich the postal addresses in the records with the Cloud Data Quality address verifier. To
validate the address data that you import in bulk, add DaaS rule associations to the field groups that store
postal addresses.

1. On the business entity page, select a field group that stores postal addresses.
2. In the Properties section, click Data Quality > DaaS Batch.
3. To enable DaaS validation, select Enable DaaS Validation.
Note: When you enable DaaS validation, you can't add basic and advanced rule associations to the fields
in the field group.
4. Click Configure Address Verification.
5. In the Verifier field, view the preselected Address Verifier asset.
Note: By default, the predefined address verifier asset is selected. For more information about the
address verifier asset, see the Informatica Cloud Data Quality Online Help.

6. On the Input and Output Fields tab, view the input and output fields that are mapped to the business
entity fields.
For more information about the input and output field mappings, see “Predefined mapping of input and
output fields” on page 17.
7. On the Validation tab, perform the following tasks:
a. In the Error Status section, select the severity of the validation failure.
b. Enter a custom error message.
c. In the Trust Score section, select the fields to use to downgrade the trust score.
d. Enter the percentage of trust score to downgrade when the validation fails.
8. Click Save.

Predefined mapping of input and output fields


Ensure that you don't modify the input and output field mappings in Cloud Data Quality.

The following table lists the input fields of the address verifier asset and their mapped business entity fields:

Address Verifier Field Data Type Business Entity Field

Address Lines 1 String Address.Address Line 1

Address Lines 2 String Address.Address Line 2

Address Lines 3 String Address.Address Line 3

Postal Code 1 String Address.Postal Code

Geo Coordinates Longitude String Address.Longitude

DaaS rule association for real-time processing


To validate and enrich addresses in real time, Business 360 Console uses Informatica Address Verification
as the default DaaS provider. The address verification DaaS provider contains predefined input and output
fields to use in DaaS rule associations. You can also enrich the email addresses and phone numbers in real-
time.

The predefined field group comes configured with a default DaaS rule association and a mapping of the
address verification DaaS provider fields and business entity fields. You can also create a DaaS rule for
custom field groups and map the input and output fields as required.

Guidelines for real-time address verification


Consider the following guidelines before you create a DaaS rule association for real-time address verification:

• You can’t create a DaaS rule association or edit the predefined DaaS rule association for the predefined
postal address field group.
• You can add one DaaS rule association at each level within nested custom field groups.
• Before you create a DaaS rule association, ensure that you save any changes to fields of the business
entity.
• Ensure that you map a business entity field to the Country field of the Address Verification DaaS provider.
Note: If you don't map any of the business entity fields to the Country field, the rule can't validate or enrich
the values of the address fields in real time.
• Unlike email and phone validation, if users add an incorrect address in the business application, real-time
address verification doesn't display the validation error during record creation. The validation error
appears after the user submits the record.

Adding a DaaS rule association


You can add a DaaS rule association to field groups in your business entity.

1. On the business entity page, select a postal address field group or any custom field group that stores
postal addresses.
2. For a predefined postal address field group, perform the following steps:
a. In the Properties section, click Data Quality > DaaS Real-time.

18 Chapter 7: Adding DaaS rule associations


b. View a predefined rule that contains a default input and output field mapping.
