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 input data. After you import a schema .xsd file, select the 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 it. Before you delete a hierarchical schema, verify that you did not use it in a transformation.
