Hi I have a source (flat file) like
ID Name Attachments
101 abc [07012005072902]_CMM27-11-01 Page106
(2).pdf
102 bcd "[19012005124259]_Anfrage-Vendors.doc
[19012005124336]_Anfrage.xls"
103 def "[19012006092602]_IMG_0310.JPG
19012006092631]_IMG_0311.JPG [19012006092702]_IMG_0312.JPG
[19012006092727]_IMG_0313.JPG"
But I need to generate duplicate records based on
attachments column.
Target (Table) like
ID Name Attachments
101 abc [07012005072902]_CMM27-11-01 Page106
(2).pdf
102 bcd 19012005124259]_Anfrage-Vendors.doc
102 bcd [19012005124336]_Anfrage.xls

Well make the (id, attachment) as unique or primary key
instead of id being primary key. Hope this solves you
problem, if not come out with clear requirement.

As far a i understood ur scenario u need each attachment
with its ID and name.
For this you can have a simple mapping made in Informatica.
SQ ----> Expression ----> Target
In Expression create the following:
Input/Output Port: ID
Input/Output Port: Name
Variable Port: Attachments_var1 ---> CHR(32) || TO_CHAR(ID)
|| CHR(9) || Name || CHR(9)
Variable Port: Attachments_var2 ----> REPLACESTR
(0,Attachments,CHR(32),CHR(10) || Attachments_var1)
Output Port: Attachments_out -----> REPLACECHR
(0,Attachments_var2,CHR(32),'')
From expression output the fields to target (Flat File),
you might get your answer
Note: the first record has a space in the attachment name,
that needs to be looked into

After a load is done to my target table, I need to insert a last row, which might be formed at some expression transformation and brought to target. Do I have to have separate mapping to be run after the 1st mapping? Or in a single mapping how to achieve this?
What is the difference between Active and Passive transformation?
