Answer / bharath

Hi,
in derivation for seq2 give as follows,
for file name give job parameter as file name and datatype is char..
for timestamp give Current CurrentTimestamp()
for count rows it is not not possible by using transformer
it can be achieved by adding another stage
that is aggregation stage..

Answer / kirill lychagin

I managed to make such job in IIS 8.5, but i think it can be reproduced in all 8.* versions/

Main question is how to get rows count in transformer. In general it can't be done. But we have sequential file stage as target.

So my solution:
1) name of 1st target file is job parameter.
2) on link to 2nd target file we add to columns:
FNAME=#FIRSTTARGETFILE# - name of 1st target file
ROW_NUM=@INROWNUM - number of input row
3) on input link to 2snd sequntial file set Collector Type=Ordered and set ROW_NUM as sort key column
4) Then in 2nd Sequntial File Stage at tab Properties add "Filter" in Options category and write there "head -n 1"

Profit!

SO the idea is to get column num in transformer and apply unix style filter (mks on Windows) on output to Seq File.

Answer / akila

Pass the name of the file in a parameter, say p1.If your
count of rows flowing through the transformer is not huge,
the run the transformer in sequential stage and pass
@INROWNUM:'|':p1:'|':DSJobStartTimeStamp as a value of a
field. Add a tail stage in between the transformer and the
2nd file. In the tail stage, input 1 as the count of
records.
