Technical content

A technical content is a specialized payload information that allows Data Marketplace to seamlessly interface with external data repositories.
This API allows you to specify the type of data that must be supplied from Data Marketplace to the external data repository, and the type of data that must be supplied from the external data repository to Data Marketplace, to allow seamless interaction between the two.
For example, to use data from an object data store to create a new data collection in your organization's data lake. After a Data User's data collection request in Data Marketplace is approved, you can use this API via an Application Integration IPD process to retrieve the request details, and compile them into a standardized data interchange file such as a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) manifest file. After this, Application Integration sends this file to Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services Data Integration. Data Integration stages the data into the data lake, and then reports the outcome of the staging operation to Application Integration. At this stage, Application Integration calls the Create data collections API to create a new data collection in Data Marketplace.
