Kafka and transformation data types

When the Secure Agent reads source data, it converts the native data types to the comparable transformation data types before transforming the data. When the Secure Agent writes to a target, it converts the transformation data types to the comparable native data types.
The following table lists the Kafka data types that Data Integration supports and the corresponding transformation data types:
