Answer / akash

I can suggest 2 ways of obtaining the results:

1. Through source qualifier, filter and sequence generator:
From source qualifier get the total records count in one
port, say record_count and from sequence generator add an
input port, say record_number.

In the filter add the condition:
(record_number > 3) AND (record_number < (record_count - 2))

2. Using the following sql query: (not sure about the
results. Please confirm the same and suggest any updates if
required):

select key_field, DESCRIPTION from temp_table
where
ROWID NOT IN (SELECT ROWID FROM TEMP_TABLE WHERE ROWNUM <=
3)
AND ROWID IN (SELECT ROWID FROM TEMP_TABLE WHERE ROWNUM <=
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TEMP_TABLE) - 3)

In the above query temp_table is the table name, key_field
and Description are column names.

If source is DB, then use

Hi, I saw one mapping implemented by my seniors . In Expression transformation they implemented following logic. That is iif(is_date(in_UC_DATINV,'YYYYMMDD'),to_date(in_UC_DATINV,'Y YYYMMDD'),'Inventory Date is either invalid or null') Inventory_Date is validated only for is_date() But not validated for notisnull() . But error says “ either invalid or null “ why? Whether is_date() also check for not isnull() ? or in this logic something is different ? Please answer me . Advance thanks
