Can we have a Mapping without a Source Qualifier?
Answer Posted / nagesh
No. Sourse Qualifier is a must for informatica mappings.
What the source qualifier does is, when we add a relational
or flat file source definition to a mapping, we need to
connect it to a Source Qualifier Transformation. The SQ
represents the rows that the Integration Service reads when
it runs in the session.Because we need to apply a business
logic in the staging area, the SQ allows us to access the
data and convert it into the informatica data types thro
respective transformations. Thus we will be able to apply
the business logic and transform the data to be compatible
with target database with the help of SQ.
