A Data Transfer task moves data from a staging table to a data model. Mapping can be defined in a Data Import Definition. This task typically follows an automated data import.
For more information on data transfer, see the section Configure Automated Data Imports.
You can also use this task after loading data to a staging table using REST APIs. For more information, see Integration Toolkit.
Configuration pane parameters
