What is the difference between Generate Records Component and Create Data Component?..

Answer / prakash balakrishnan

There is no transform function in Generate Record comp.
Therefore it will create data's defaultly of it's own,
according to the dml defined. To change that data, we have
to connect some other component after Generate Record comp.
and have to modify. Whereas, in Create Data comp. we can
write a transform function, so that the data's are
generated as per out trfm function. Also index is defaultly
defined in Create Data comp.
