Answer / madhu
The Transformation which Converts the source(relational or
flat) datatype to Informatica datatype.
So it works as an intemediator between and source and
informatica server.
Tasks performed by qualifier transformation:-
1. Join data originating from the same source database.
2. Filter records when the Informatica Server reads source
data.
3. Specify an outer join rather than the default inner join.
4. Specify sorted ports.
5. Select only distinct values from the source.
6. Create a custom query to issue a special SELECT
statement for the Informatica Server to read source data.
