Answer / jhilam roy

Sorry guys...correction...If you do not select any group by
port in an Aggregator transformation and also want the first
record of any input record set, then, simply use the FIRST
function with no group by ports selected. Because, if there
is no group by ports selected, by default, FIRST treats all
rows as one group, returning one value. However, make sure
that the first record is not NULL. If a value is NULL, FIRST
ignores the row.

Answer / jayesh

Dont use group by.By default it will give last row.To
override it,use FIRST function.

Answer / jhilam roy

Simple answer: NO, provided, only the Aggregator
transformation is used.
In an Aggregator transformation, if no port is selected as
Group By, then by default, the PowerCenter Sever returns the
very last row of the input record set, definitely not the
first one.
It scans sequentially starting from the first port of the
input set and continues till the last port is hit. If it
fails to find any port designated as Group By, the default
nature is to return the last record of the input record set
to the downstream transformation or target.

Any updation is appreciated.

How can you sort records by using rownum...its not possible

Answer / venkat

Yes, we can get first record using aggregator below are the
steps:
First need to sort all the records by desc and connect to
aggregator transformation than connect to target without
using gropby port than you will get first record.
