In a mapping i have three dimensions. If i want to pass a
same surrogate key value to all the three dimensions by
using one sequence generator is possible?If the mapping is
containing single flow? And in the same case if the mapping
is contaning 3 flows for the three dimensions then by using
one sequence generator can we populate surrogate key (same
value) to all the three dimensions?

Answer Posted / raj

Use the Sequence and Expresion transfermations.first
genarate the surrogate with Seq trans,then send values to
exp trans,connect the exp trans o/p ports to 3 dimentions.


First Seq generate the surrogate key like 1,2,3,4,5
we wil pass this column to next tran(Exp) from there we
will connect o/p port to dimentions.so '1' wil go all
dimentions,then '2' wil go then '3' .....
