Using intelligent structure models in data engineering mappings

To use an intelligent structure model in a data engineering mapping, add the model to a data object. The model generates HTYPE output.
You can add an intelligent structure model to data objects, and then incorporate them into mappings in data engineering. To use an intelligent structure model in a data object, first export it from Data Integration to your local drive.
Use Informatica Developer to add the intelligent structure to a complex file data object, Amazon S3 data object, or Microsoft Azure Blob data object. You can add the data object to a data engineering mapping and process data on the Spark engine. For more information, see the Data Engineering Integration User Guide.
