Answer / saritha
It is Active transformation.
If you configure the Sorter transformation for distinct
output rows, the Mapping Designer configures all ports as
part of the sort key. When the PowerCenter Server runs the
session, it discards duplicate rows compared during the
sort operation.

Answer / suchi
Sorter Transformation is passive when the DISTINCT option
is unchecked bcoz it wont change the number of records
passes through it. Once the DISTINCT option is checked it
may change the no of records if the records has duplicates.

Answer / saradhi
if we check the box distinct means u are eliminating the
duplicate record.so here if we check the distinct while
sorting its eliminating the duplicate records and after its
sorts so the number of records in target are less compared
to source for that it is calles as active. if we uncheck
this all the records are transforms into target table so it
is passive.

Answer / hema
sorter transformation is behaving like a passive but it must be active transformation because select distinct option then it will change number of records/rows otherwise uncheck the distinct option it doesnot change the recods so is this correct answer

Answer / arun
it is active transformation, if u uncheck or check the
sorterport there is option for sorting the data if u check
this option it will change the rows if u uncheck this the
same data will pass to the target. but check in the
expression t/r there is no option like sorter t/r.

How to update source definition?
Please let me know how we can implement the below scenario. In a single mapping,more than 500 sources (legacy,VSAM,relational) will be loading into only one target. Whenever I retreive the data(any record) from target, i need to find the details that the record belongs to which source. Thanks in advance..
If the source has duplicate records as id and name columns, values: 1 a, 1 b, 1 c, 2 a, 2 b, the target should be loaded as 1 a+b+c or 1 a||b||c, what transformations should be used for this?
