MktDataTranObject

An entity that is used to deliver (aka transport) information from the source to a target (target will be called a landing entity).This can be the schema of a file, API, Event, or other means of transporting data, such as SubscriberFile1.csv, or SubscriberCDCEvent.

Where possible, we changed noninclusive terms to align with our company value of Equality. Because changing terms in our code can break current implementations, we maintained this metadata type’s name.
