If no. of source columns is changing every time (First time
it is 10 next time it is 20 so on). How to deal with it
without changing mapping?

Answer Posted / bidhar

If this is the requirement,then you will have to reimport
the source metadata in source analyzer and the save so that
the new columns are reflected in the mapping source.But to
pull it to target you need to join manually the pipelines.

But Such type of scenarios rarelly comes in OLAP models.A
good DWH design should be in such a way that if in future
any new columns come in the OLTP systems then DWH can
accomodate that.
For example Product Table has 20 columns in OLTP system.
Then OLAP model can have more than 20 columns for Product
Dimension(ATRIBUTE_1,ATRIBUTE_2 and so on)and populate null
values into that.
Now whenever new columns are added into the OLTP Product
table then we can simply map the new column to the ATRIBUTE
Columns,Keeping the datatypes in mind.
