How Union Transformation is an Active Trans?

Answer Posted / priyank

First of all union transformation allows duplicate ddata to
pass through. Now say we have n input groups and there are
m records coming from them. In the output group all the m
records will go through.

For a transformation to be an Active transformation, it has
to satisfy either of the below 3 conditions:

1. no of i/p <> no of o/p
OR
2. row type of the input row changes.
OR
3. Transaction scope of the input rows changes.

For union transformation as discussed above , it satisfies
the 1st and the 2nd condition. But the order in which the
input is passed through the union transformation is not
fixed as in the first record to pass through the
transformation can be from the nth source and the last
record can be from the 1st source. So here the transaction
scope of the input rows changes and hence Union
transformation is an Active transformation.
