API Call and Request Body Syntax

Use a REST API call to run a Data Transformation service.
Use the following URL for the REST API call, where <Service_Name> is the name of the Data Transformation service that the API runs:
http://localhost:8080/DTRestApi/informatica/dt/transform/v0.1/<Service_Name>
You can provide a request body in JSON to the REST API call. The following table describes the request body objects:

  • value
    : If the
    type
