Answer / ankit gosain

Hi all,

For this scenario, construct a job like:


SeqFile------>Transformer------>Transformer----->SeqFile


Firstly, Change the execution mode of both the transformers
from default(parallel) to sequential.
Now, create a stage variable of varchar type in 1st
Transformer (say temp) & assign a default value to it
(say 'Ankit').
Now write in its derivation:
if temp='Ankit' then col2 else temp:',':col2

Now give the o/p derivation for the two columns as:
col1---col1
temp---col2

Now go to the 2nd Transformer & go to input tab and mention
the sorting on col1 as descending, create 3 stage variables
in it:
count1 of integer type with 0 as default value,
temp1 of varchar type with 'Ankit' as default value,
temp2 of varchar type.
then write in their derivation:

count1+1----------------------------------count1
if temp1='Ankit' then col2 else temp2-----temp1
temp1-------------------------------------temp2

Now write in O/p derivation of the columns:

col1-----------------------col1
field(temp2,',',count1)----col2

Now, do the sorting (ascending) on col1 in the o/p seqFile,
and drag & drop both the columns to the o/p link derivation
and you wil get the desired result.

Cheers,
Ankit :)

Answer / anil

1. Take a copy of the file in two links where id only in one link and value in another link.

2. For id link add a column generator for giving row number(Temp). Run this in sequential mode. Parition by Sort Merge (ascending)

3. For value link add a column generator for giving row number(Temp). Run this in sequential mode. Parition by Sort Merge (descending).

4. Now add look up between two columns with Temp as lookup. 

5. You will get the output as desired.
