With the help of command task...
cd dir_path
cat 1st_filename 2nd_filename >> 3rd_filename
Then,

In session property,
give the filename: 3rd_filename and its path

Answer / rahul patil
All the above approaches are not correct because question was to join two flat files... if we use indirect file or unix command or joiner trns, we could only union two files but not join.
If we have file1 --- 100 records and
file2 --- 100 records then through above approaches we would have only 200 records.
But a join without join condition would return cartesian product and in our case count should be 10000.

Answer / tulasi pavani.k
If two flat files are of same structure we can join by
creating one list file and by writing the the names of those
two flat files in one text file.

source file type:indirect

Answer / murali udayagiri
Use join UNIX command in pre-session command for joining
both the files and write to a file. Use single SQ trans in
mapping to read that joined flat file data.

CANNOT USE PARAMETER FILE! Hi all, I am trying to use parameter file for my workflow. This could help me to filter records where CITY = 'Portland' Following is what I have done: **in Designer - create new parameter : $$PARA_FIL, Parameter, String, IsExprVar=TRUE, Initial value = [empty] - Source Qualifier/ Properties/Source Filter: CUSTOMERS.CITY='$$PARA_FIL' **Create Parameter file: C:\Informatica\PowerCenter8.6.0 \server\infa_shared\BWParam\DynamicParamTest.txt $$PARA_FIL='Portland' **Configure workflow to use the parameter file: Edit Workflow/Properties/Parameter Filename: C:\Informatica\PowerCenter8.6.0 \server\infa_shared\BWParam\DynamicParamTest.txt I also configured directory of parameter file for session task. However, I just got this in the session log: [SQ_CUSTOMERS] SQL Query [SELECT CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMER_ID FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE CUSTOMERS.CITY='$$PARA_FIL'] No record has been loaded to target. It seems that the parameter file has not been read. I cannot understand the reason why. Could any of you kindly suggest me anything? Thanks
