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

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
