Transferring without using a metadata source
For some types of data you do not need to specify a metadata source, although generally you will want to do so. It is possible to transfer data without specifying a metadata source only when using Relational MR Database CDSC, UNICOM Intelligence Data File CDSC, SPSS Statistics SAV DSC, or XML CDSC to write the case data (although transferring to a .sav file without a metadata source has some limitations. For more information, see Transferring data to IBM SPSS Statistics.
Note In the InputDataSource section, you can specify file locations using a relative path (that is, relative to the folder in which the DMS file is located when you run it).
