Source (Flatfile) - Target (1-1 mapping). How to load first or last 20 record to target?..

Answer / joe

We cannot use a sorter because it will shuffle the data.

For the last 20 rows. In a seperate pipeline use aggregator
and do a Count(key) and Max(key) to get the total number of
rows.
use an output port o_count and o_max to populate this count
to an expression transformation before the Filter.

o_count_last_20 = o_count - 20
i.e. if there are 35 records we need records from 15 to 35

In the filter check nextval between o_count_last_20 and
o_Max

Answer / sunny

Hello joe, your solution is partially correct - what if the
records are not in sequence to do MAX minus 20 ? I guess
this logic can be applied only after passing through
sequence generator, by getting a sequence number.

Source (Flatfile) - Target (1-1 mapping). How to load first or last 20 record to target?..

Answer / joe

1. Use a sequence generator to associate a NEXTVAL to the
row.

2. Filter condition : NextVal <=20


For source- dbase: Do a filter at SQ by including the
following condition . WHERE Rownum <=20

Answer / raju

You can also achieve using following flow in the mapping.

1)Create an out put port SNO in expression transformation
and connect it to NEXTVAL port in sequence generator
transformation.

2)Use sorter transformation.In sorter ,use SNO port as key
column and Direction is Descending.

3)Use filter transformation with filter condition as
SNO<=20.
