Hi, I have one flatfile as target in a mapping . When i am trying to load data second time into it. The records already is in flatfile is getting override. I don't want to override existing records. Note : we can do this by implementing CDC / Incremental pool logic if target is relational . But this is flatfile. So, even i use this same technique it will override only So what is the solution ? Is there any option at session level for flatfile target ? Advance Thanks
