hi, as al you know, we can set the option in session level as all rows treat as like insert,update..

Answer / john

Bydefaultly the option in the session properties "Treat
source rows as" is set as Insert.But When we use
Updatestrategy in our mapping, the option in the session
level automatically becomes "Data driven".that means all
the source rows are treated as per the condition you
specified in the updatestrategy transformation.lets say you
have specified as "DD_UPDATE" then integartion service will
treat all the source rows as "UPDATE".
Actually when we use Updatestrategy transformation in
mapping level there is no need of change the settings in
the session level..as i told you earlier the option "Treat
source rows as" is bydefaultly Insert.
But with out using Updatestrategy how wll the Update the
records? or How will you Reject the records? or How will
you Delete the records?
The answer for this Question is...By using the option
called "Treat source rows as"..
so Use this option when you want to update/Reject/Delete
the records with out using the Updatestrategy in mapping
level..
