Answer / madhu
The Transformation which Converts the source(relational or
flat) datatype to Informatica datatype.
So it works as an intemediator between and source and
informatica server.
Tasks performed by qualifier transformation:-
1. Join data originating from the same source database.
2. Filter records when the Informatica Server reads source
data.
3. Specify an outer join rather than the default inner join.
4. Specify sorted ports.
5. Select only distinct values from the source.
6. Create a custom query to issue a special SELECT
statement for the Informatica Server to read source data.

Represents the source record set queried by the integration server/service.It is mandatory in the mapping when the source is relational or flat files.And it is a Active transformation.
source qualifier contain some properties is given bellow:

3>source filter:Filter applied to source Records..
4>Number of sorted ports:used to sort input ports.When we are using sorted ports the Powercenter add ports by default'Orderby'.BY default sorted ports are Zero
5>Select Distinct:selct unique values only
6>pre sql:The sql database before reads the source data
7>post sql:The sql database after write the data in to target table..
