in second pipeline connect source qualifier to aggreator t/r don't select any group by (so that it will gives it last record) connect output to the target

in source qualifier t/r we caen create user defined queires
their type below query
select * from <table_name> where rownum=1 union select *
from <table_name> where rowid=(select max(rowid) from
<table_name>);

Answer / chandrasekar

HI VENKATESH,

YOUR ABOVE ANSWER IS NOT CORRECTLY WORKING IN MY
SYSTEM. SO PLEASE EXECUTE THE ABOVE SOLUTION ONCE AGAIN LOAD
IT. AS PER MY KNOWLEDGE WE CAN CREATE A MAPPING VARIABLE AS
$$SEQ,DATA TYPE IS INTEGER AND SELECT AGGREGATION COLOUMN IS
COUNT. USING EXP TRANSFORMATION SETCOUNTVARIABLE($$SEQ). IT
WILL WORK CORRECTLY.
