ODS

hi,
i believe ods cant b called a data object. its a temp 
database for validating the data n applying business logic 
on that.

it shud me a transformation. probably the ans kud be 
repository object since transformation is a reposiyory 
object.

It  might be source qualifier

hi, anju,
gud thinking.
r u trying for a break with the industry or currently 
working on that.would you wind sending a mail to me on my 
id bsgsr12@gmail.com for knowledge transfer.

bye.
bsgsr

it may be source qualifier.

why it could not be Expression, and any other 
transformation, Even SQ is almost like as Source, that is 
already in question, obviously u can do SQL Override but 
still an confusing answer as SQ. can u pls tell me why SQ 
and why not any other transformations..???

Thanks

It may be ETL Tools like Informatica,Datastage,etc.,

Data Object: intermediate table if we r using or Stage 
table (temp table) which are the resulting data object 
after applying the transformation.

source qualifier.

The main data object present inbetween source and target is 
staging layer only, Staging layer will do eliminate the 
inconsistency data and gives the result data object

source qualifier is the correct answer,because with out 
source qualifier u cant do any thing

pipeline is used in the context of patitioning the source 
so that the dtm process is executed i a less time. to meke 
informatica server read,transform n load the data into the 
targets in a relatively less duration.

its informatica utility

pipeline term in informatica gives the physical flow of data
from source to target or any other transformation.
