If you update an

intelligent structure model

that was created with an older version of

Intelligent Structure Discovery

, where all output fields were assigned a string data type, the Structure Parser transformation might change field data types during the update. If, for any of the affected fields, the downstream transformation or the target expects a string, edit the model to change the data type back to string. Then, in the Mapping Designer, click the provided link to update the model in the transformation again.

The Structure Parser transformation can parse recursive elements in an XSD input file if all of the following conditions are true:

The recursive element isn't nested inside a repeating element.
The recursive element always uses the same name element.
The Structure Parser transformation isn't used in a mapping in advanced mode.

When you use a Structure Parser transformation in a mapplet, to prevent runtime errors, be sure that the combined Mapplet transformation name doesn't exceed 80 characters. For more information, see Mapplet transformation names.
