You can use an automatic publication, a custom publication, or a modular publication to publish data.
The publication type you choose is based on the organization requirements and the complexity of the business logic that you want to apply when publishing the data.
Automatic Publications
With automatic publications you can publish data from a relational database source or a flat file source, or over a REST API. If required,
Data Integration Hub
generates the automatic mapping based on details that you provide when you create the publication.

Data Integration Hub
:
Automatic database publication. A publication with an automatic mapping and a relational database source.

Data Integration Hub
keeps the data as-is.
Custom Publications
With custom publications you can publish from any type of source that PowerCenter, Data Engineering Integration , Data Engineering Streaming, Data Quality, and
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
support.
You can use the following custom publication types to publish data with

:
Custom batch publication. A publication that uses a
Data Integration Hub
batch workflow. A batch workflow can be based on a PowerCenter batch workflow, a Data Engineering Integration mapping or workflow, or a Data Quality mapping or workflow.
Custom multi-latency publication. A publication that uses a
Data Integration Hub
real-time workflow or a
Data Integration Hub
Data Engineering Streaming workflow. A
Data Integration Hub
real-time workflow is based on a PowerCenter real-time workflow. A
