You can create a common data model folder within a file system in the ADLS Gen2 storage. A common data model folder contains data in the

.csv

file format and the associated metadata in the

model.json

and

manifest.json

file formats. You can read from CDM folders that contain metadata in the

model.json

or

manifest.json

format

and write to CDM folders that contain metadata in the

manifest.json

format

.

You can use Microsoft CDM Folders V2 Connector to read from

and write to

CDM format files.

When Microsoft CDM Folders V2 Connector writes to CDM format files, you can use a CDM Aware application that uses the latest CDM SDK to access the CDM format files.

You can use Microsoft CDM Folders V2 objects as sources

and targets

in mappings and mapping tasks.

You can switch mappings to advanced mode to include transformations and functions that enable advanced functionality.
