    Hi, so actually when using datastage target table can be an iceberg table and you can select the folder of iceberg table and datastage will write. In data refunery there is no option to select on the level of the folder to write. You can select on the level of file to write.so creating a data refinery job and add target s3 bucket not possible to select a folder and automatically see files and metadata and write in the folder and create new metadata file https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/caroline-garay/2024/04/17/populate-data-lakehouses-easier-than-ever-with-dat
