Defining data
For optimum data transformation, the entire contents of your data must be defined. Using the Type Designer, you can define input data so that each data object of the source data is identified. You can define the output data according to your output specifications.
How specifically you define the data is up to you. For example, if there is a large section of data that you want to process quickly, define it loosely as a chunk of text.
The Type Designer does not define data content as source data or target data. The purpose of the Type Designer is to define your data. Use the Map Designer to define input and output definitions for the data.
