Metadata Manager

Custom Metadata Configurator (Deprecated)

Effective in version 10.2, Informatica deprecated the Custom Metadata Configurator in Metadata Manager.
You can use the load template to load metadata from metadata source files into a custom resource. Create a load template for the models that use Custom Metadata Configurator templates.
For more information about using load templates, see the "Custom XConnect Created with a Load Template" in the Informatica Metadata Manager 10.2 Custom Metadata Integration Guide.
