Answer / gd

Use aggregator t/r In that condition group by on emp_id and
create output port with expression concat('emp_id','
','emp_name');

Answer / dharmendra

SOURCE->SRT->EXP->AGT->TGT

SRT - Sort by column col1.
EXP - empid
name
v_name=iif(v_empid=empid,v_name||','||name,name)
v_empid=empid
o_empid=v_empid
o_name=v_name
After this we can use aggregator t/r to take last row for a
particualr emp id using LAST.

Answer / nanda

In expression transformation take a variable port, lets say
v_emp_id and equate it to emp_id,

take one more variable port for calculation as v_cal
and write a expression in v_cal as

v_cal= iff(emp_id=v_emp_id, emp_name||v_cal, emp_name)-----
----- (1)

take an output port O_emp_name and
O_emp_name = v_cal

write the following as shown in the expression
transformation, i meant the order of ports and their
corresponding values

emp_id
emp_name
v_cal the (1) expression
v_emp_id emp_id
O_emp_name v_cal


send the output ports to aggregator and in aggregator
take a output port O_agg_emp_name

emp_id
emp_name
O_emp_name
O_agg_emp_name = last(O_emp_name)

send the emp_id and the O_agg_emp_name to the target
and thts it

Answer / rana

In Expression transformation create four variable port like:
v_ID
v_Fname
v_Mname
v_Lname
and use following condition
v_nr=iif(v_id <> emp_ID,0,v_nr+1)
v_fname=iif(v_nr = 0,emp_name,v_fname)
v_mname=iif(v_nr = 1,emp_name,v_mname)
v_lname=iif(v_nr = 2,emp_name,v_lname)
v_id=iif(v_id <> emp_ID,emp_id,v_id)


Add a Filter transformation, and condition will be (NOT
ISNULL(v_Fname) and NOT ISNULL(v_Mname) and NOT ISNULL
(v_Lname))
Take an example, If rows are like these:
101,soha
101,ali
101,khan
102,siva
102,shanker
102,reddy

For : 101,soha ==>
*v_nr=iif(v_id <> 101,0,v_nr+1) [v_id is now 0 or
null]
It will return 0
*v_fname=iif(v_nr = 0,emp_name,v_fname) [v_nr is 0 now
so "SOHA" will insert into f_name variable]

other condition will be false
-------------------------------
For : 101,ali ==>
*v_nr=iif(101 <> 101,0,v_nr+1) [v_nr is now 1 ]
It will return 1, because condition will FALSE and v_nr+1
will add 1 to 0, mean 1

*v_fname=iif(v_nr = 0,emp_name,v_fname) [v_nr is 1 so
condition is FALSE and it will return v_fname that
is "SOHA" that was stored when v_nr was 0]

*v_mname=iif(v_nr = 1,emp_name,v_mname) [v_nr is 1 and
Condition is TRUE so now it will return emp_name and that
is "ALI"]

other condition will be false
---------------------------------
For : 101,khan ==>
*v_nr=iif(101 <> 101,0,v_nr+1) [v_nr is now 2]
It will return 2, because condition will FALSE and v_nr+1
will add 1 to 1, mean 2

*v_fname=iif(v_nr = 0,emp_name,v_fname) [v_nr is 2 so
condition is FALSE and it will return v_fname that
is "SOHA" that was stored when v_nr was 0]

*v_mname=iif(v_nr = 1,emp_name,v_mname) [v_nr is 2 and
Condition is FALSE and it will return v_mname that is "ALI"
that was stored when v_nr was 1]

*v_lname=iif(v_nr = 2,emp_name,v_lname) [v_nr is 2 now so
condition is TRUE and it will return emp_name and that
is “KHAN” now]


v_id=iif(v_id <> emp_ID,emp_id,v_id)

Let me know if you have still any confusion on this,

Rana
