how lookup is acting as both active and passive ?
how is it possitble?

Answer Posted / priyanka

hi
Suppose if we have 3 records with same key value, only then
first, last are considered. Based on given preference, if
it is first, it will consider the record which comes first.
If it is last, it considers the matched record which comes
by the end of that session.If there are no duplicate
records then,if there is a matched record it will return
the respective data for that record else with return NULL.
But, as it tracks all the records with some result i.e
either with its value or NULL, we consider it as passive
transformation
