How do we modify the data transfer process?

[nimritee]

Hello Community,

I'm interested in transferring data from a provider to a consumer, but before proceeding with the transfer, I'd like to explore options for modifying the data file.
Can you provide any suggestions or guidance on how to accomplish this?

this is something that shouldn't be done by the EDC data-plane, a solution could be to have a middle-service that could stay between the data-source and the data-plane and perform the transformation.

Hello @ndr-brt,

Thanks for the reply.
What would be the starting point where the middle service could be introduced?

[ndr-brt]

the typical case is:

[data source] --> [data-plane] --> [consumer]

eventually you'd need to put it between data source and data plane, if you have the possibility it could be also part of the data source
