Data Integration uses the following data types in mappings, synchronization tasks, and mapping tasks with OData Consumer:
OData Consumer native data types
OData Consumer data types appear in the Fields tab for Source and Target transformations when you choose to edit metadata for the fields.
Transformation data types
Set of data types that appear in the remaining transformations. They are internal data types based on ANSI SQL-92 generic data types, which Data Integration uses to move data across platforms. Transformation data types appear in all remaining transformations in a mapping, synchronization task, or mapping task.
When the agent reads source data, it converts the native data types to the comparable transformation data types before transforming the data. When the agent writes to a target, it converts the transformation data types to the comparable native data types.
