If the source has duplicate records as id and name columns,
values:
1 a, 1 b, 1 c,
2 a, 2 b,
the target should be loaded as 1 a+b+c or 1 a||b||c, what
transformations should be used for this?
Answer Posted / souvik
We need to have a Lookup with a Dynamic Cache, a Router, an Expression and then an Update Strategy..... The Lookup will be on the Target Table..... So when the ID is coming for the first time, it wont found any data on the lookup table.... This can be directed for Insertion to the Target Table via a Router.... Then when the same ID is coming for the second time, it will Lookup on the Target Table and will found that the row with the ID exists.... Hence both the columns from the source table and both the columns from the Lookup are taken forward into the Router and then to an Expression Transformation where the second port is Concatenated. Then the ID port and this port is taken to the Update Strategy transformation for Update...

CANNOT USE PARAMETER FILE! Hi all, I am trying to use parameter file for my workflow. This could help me to filter records where CITY = 'Portland' Following is what I have done: **in Designer - create new parameter : $$PARA_FIL, Parameter, String, IsExprVar=TRUE, Initial value = [empty] - Source Qualifier/ Properties/Source Filter: CUSTOMERS.CITY='$$PARA_FIL' **Create Parameter file: C:\Informatica\PowerCenter8.6.0 \server\infa_shared\BWParam\DynamicParamTest.txt $$PARA_FIL='Portland' **Configure workflow to use the parameter file: Edit Workflow/Properties/Parameter Filename: C:\Informatica\PowerCenter8.6.0 \server\infa_shared\BWParam\DynamicParamTest.txt I also configured directory of parameter file for session task. However, I just got this in the session log: [SQ_CUSTOMERS] SQL Query [SELECT CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMER_ID FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE CUSTOMERS.CITY='$$PARA_FIL'] No record has been loaded to target. It seems that the parameter file has not been read. I cannot understand the reason why. Could any of you kindly suggest me anything? Thanks
