When you create a mapping, design it according to the type of

Data Transformation

service you are going to run. For example, the

Data Transformation

parser and mapper generate XML data. You can configure the Unstructured Data transformation to return rows from the XML data or you can configure it to return an XML file.

The

Data Transformation

serializer component can generate any output from XML. It can generate HTML or binary files such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. When the output is binary data,

Data Transformation

Engine writes the output to a file instead of passing it back to the Unstructured Data transformation.

The following examples show how to configure mappings with an Unstructured Data transformation.
