Where we use dynamic lookup and where we use it?do we
generate surrogate keys using dynamic lookup?can we use it
for scd type 2 mapping and why?

Answer Posted / nayan naik

Dynamic lookup when used in a SCD-2 implementation ,you must
make sure your lookup transformation is on the target table,
hence the dynamic lookup cache is always in sync.

Surrogate keys are generated using a sequence and not a
lookup transformation. Have a look at this link it gives you
a complete step by step implementation of SCD-2 in informatica.
