This can be handled by using the file list in informatica.
If we have 5 files in different locations on the server and
we need to load in to single target table.In session
properties we need to change the file type as Indirect.
am taking a notepad and giving following paths and file
names in this notepad and saving this notepad as
emp_source.txt in the directory /ftp_data/webrep/
/ftp_data/webrep/SrcFiles/abc.txt
/ftp_data/webrep/bcd.txt
/ftp_data/webrep/srcfilesforsessions/xyz.txt
/ftp_data/webrep/SrcFiles/uvw.txt
/ftp_data/webrep/pqr.txt
In session properties i give /ftp_data/webrep/ in the
directory path and file name as emp_source.txt and file type
as Indirect.

To load 5 differnt files of same format .first creat a
directory in Unix and copy all the file into this directory
and using the option as Indirect load in session properties
give the loaction of unix in source and it will enable to
load all the 5 files in single run in to a target . if we
have 5 diff files in 5 different formats then firstly
convert all in to one format and then proceed as explained
aboue.

Answer / arnab
Use Union transformation , if you do not want to use Union
and if your informatica runs on Unix , then create a shell
script to concatenate these files and create a single
file , you can call this shell script before you call the
session in the workflow
If you use windows create and dos batch script and do the
same as above
