Using Expression transformation how to remove duplicate records from a relational source?..

Answer / prathibha

Hi,

Source->SQ->Sorter->Expression->FilterTarget.
Lets take a small example for this scenario.
Use a sorter to sort the input data.
ID Name
1 A
1 A
2 B
3 C
3 C

In Expression Transformation declare the following ports:

ID
Name
O_Count= iiF(V_port=ID,O_Count=O_count+1,O_Count=0)
V_port(Variable Port) = ID;

In filter transformation give the condition O_Count =0;
Let me know if there are any suggestions.

Answer / infabee

Expression is a passive transformation. So we can't delete
any row in it. We can achive only by using an active
transformation with/without it (SQ,Filter,Agg..etc).

Answer / bijay

The mapping should be like this
SRC->SQ->EXP->TARGET
In source qualifier transformation select 'ENABLE DISTINCT',
then it will send only distinct record to the expression transformtion. And From expression transformation simply connect to the target
