Answer / jaimeen shah

You can configure the Update Strategy transformation to
either pass rejected rows to the next
transformation or drop them based on the update strategy
expression. By default, the PowerCenter Server forwards
rejected rows to the next transformation. The PowerCenter
Server flags the rows for reject and writes them to
the session reject file. If you do not select Forward
Rejected Rows, the PowerCenter Server
drops rejected rows and writes them to the session log file.
