Answer / sant532reddy

seq file1 and file2 as input to change capture stage and then a switch stage with case=0,1,2 (on change code). Case=0 will give 6,7,8. Case=1 will give 1,2,3,4,5 and case=2 will give you 9,10,11

Answer / suresh

Actually we observe 1st output has common numbers of two inputs,remaining outputs have indiaviduals wrt to input data.

Suppose we validate the application using equivalence partitioning using this approach.

Same as we validate boundary value wrt two inputs can approach this one.

Answer / pavani

by using join type=full outer.we have to get output has 2 columns. 1st_column values are first inputs and remaining nulls,2_column values are second input and remaining are nulls.
then by using transformer write a constraint
1.output----->1st_column=2_column;
2.output----->2_column=null or'';(depending on input data)
3.output----->1st_column=null or'';(depending on data)

Answer / sant532reddy

Use input file1 as after file and input file2 as before file to a change capture stage. Change capture stage generates change code 0 for 6,7,8 & 1 for 1,2,3,4,5 and 2 for 9,10,11. Use a filter/switch stage after change capture stage to write records to output file1 when change code is 0, to output file2 when change code is 1 and to output file3 when change code is 2.
