what is a test load?..

Answer / karthik kumar

In simple words, 'test load' is a load without a 'commit' to the targets! The source qualifier fetches data and all the rows are processed through all transformations. Even the target insert queries are generated. But, rows are not inserted.
In the session log u will not find the entry of a commit issued. Also, in the session load summary, the entry will be 'Target test load summary' instead of 'Target load summary'.
The advantage of this is already evident in the above explanation. Especially when there is no access to debug mode, this option is very helpful and can be used with a verbose data to check for errors and issues.

what is a test load?..

Answer / reni g

With a test load, the Integration Service reads and
transforms data without writing to targets. To configure a
session to perform a test load, enable test load in session
properties and enter the number of rows to test.

Answer / arnab kumar patra

We can use this option to check whether the mapping will
load the data or not. We can limit the no of records that
needs to be loaded as test load in the Target properties in
the Session properties.
