Answer / ashish a

first the Similarity between Router and Filter is

-Both transformation would able to discard data based on
some filter condition.

The Differences are...
1.Using router transformation one would able to test
incoming data for multiple filter condition and if none of
the condition met the incoming rows gets reouted to DAFAULT
group.

2.Using filter transformation one would able to pass data
to next transformation based on single filter pipeline
condition.There is no option of routing data that doesnt
match the condition like ROUTER Transformation.

Answer / thava

Filter =One condition
Router=More than one condition
When you have more than one condition to be checked we can
use more than one filter for each condition but it is time
consuming,so router is the best transformation to be used
there instead of multiple filter transformations.

Answer / jang

If we what to test for multiple conditons, then we need to
have multiple Filters TRN's, so each filter TRN scans the
data. Where as in Router TRN data is only once scan or read
to evaluate the conditions, so the performance may be good
with router.

Answer / srinivas

1.Filter will removes unwanted data based on a filter
condition,if we want use multiple filter conditions using
filter it is not possible,so we have another option i.e router.
2.Router:advantage is one input can be passed and based
on filter conditions output will be get,here matched
condition and un-matched condition records can be get
