Answer / naveen

1)Use a router , create 2 different groups
2) let both the groups have the same condition in it . eg:
if ur source have got emp _id column and the max value in
it is 1000. Let ur condition in the router be emp_id <= 1000

3) remember , u put both the conditions in the router are
same . Because only then both the groups will fetch full
set of records , eg , if 100 records are ther in the
source , u can get 200 records from these 2 groups totally

4) from the first group, link a sorter or rank
transformation , enable select distinct in that and pass it
to the target

5) connect the other group from the router directly to
another target.

6) enjoy
