Hierarchical Schemas
A hierarchical schema is based on a schema file that you import to Informatica Cloud. The schema defines the expected hierarchy of the output data. After you import an .xsd schema file, select the schema root. For a hierarchical schema based on a JSON sample, you do not select a schema root.
You can create, edit, or delete hierarchical schema. You can edit a hierarchical schema and change the root or change the schema definition. However if you have used the hierarchical schema in a transformation, you cannot edit or delete it.
