Rules and Guidelines for Intelligent Structure Models

Rules and Guidelines for
Intelligent Structure Model
s

Consider the following rules and guidelines when you work with
Intelligent structure model
:
  • If the
    Intelligent structure model
    does not match the input file, or only partially matches the input file, there might be a large amount of unidentified data and data loss. It is important therefore to choose a representative file to create the model.
  • When you create an
    Intelligent structure model
    in
    Intelligent Structure Discovery
    , ensure that the names for output groups follow the Developer tool naming conventions.
    • To ensure compatibility, an element name must contain only English letters (A- Z, a-z), numerals (0-9), and underscores.
    • Do not use reserved logical terms such as And, Or, or other reserved names.
    • Do not start element names with a number.
    • Do not use duplicate names for different elements.
  • Ensure that the
    Intelligent structure model
    is valid before you add it to the Column Projection properties of the data object properties.
  • You can only use a Read transformation with an
    Intelligent structure model
    in a mapping. Do not create or use a Write transformation with an
    Intelligent structure model
    , as the mapping will fail.
  • If the
    Intelligent structure model
    version is incompatible with the Big Data Management version, import the model in a compatible model version from Data Integration.
  • A data object with an
    Intelligent structure model
    parse PDF forms, Microsoft Word tables, and XML files whose size is less than the supported Hadoop split size of 256 M.
  • An
    Intelligent structure model
    can parse the data within PDF form fields but not data outside the fields.
  • An
    Intelligent structure model
    can parse data within Microsoft Word tables. Other data is unidentified.
