How to eliminate duplicates in FF and oracle both..

Answer / akash

In addition to the above answers I will add one more option.

We can use expression to check whether a record is
repeating or not and set an output port as flag. For first
occurence of any record this flag is 1. Use router after
this with condition "i_FLAG = 1". This output will give
only unique records. Default output will give only
duplicate records.

Also we can use a filter after the above expression with
the condition "i_FLAG = 1"
