How can the following be achieved in 1 single Informatica
Mapping.

* If the Header table record has error value(NULL) then
those records and the corresponding child records in the
SUBHEAD and DETAIL tables should also not be loaded into
the target(TARGET1,TARGET 2 or TARGET3).

* If the HEADER table record is valid, but the SUBHEAD or
DETAIL table record has an error value (NULL) then the no
data should be loaded into the target TARGET1,TARGET 2 or
TARGET3.

* If the HEADER table record is valid and the SUBHEAD or
DETAIL table record also has valid records only then the
data should be loaded into the target TARGET1,TARGET 2 and
TARGET3.

Answer Posted / anu

1)In the mapping join all the 3 flat files on the common
column(Col1).(2joiners are needed)
2)Create a expression drag all the columns from the end
Joiner to Exp.In the expression create a 3 ports
H_flag,S_Flag,D_flag.

H_Flag =iff(isnull(col2),'x',iff(isnull(col3),'x',iff(isnull
(col5),'x',iff(isnull(col6),'x','y'))
the result of this is if you have null in any header column
this flag value will be 'X'.
Repeat this with Detail and subhead as well.
Declare these flag ports as last ports of expression.
3)Create a router with a group in it for
H_Flag!='x'
S_flag!='x'
D_Flag!='x'
This will get you not null columns from all the three and
accordingly u can load the target.

But if you have any other conditions ,still you can use
these flags in filters and control the data flow.
