Hi friends,
This question is a trick and as i found in every answer
given previously, there is a slight miss-queue.
Check out my solution for this question:
I/p File(Primary)
!
I/p
file---->Sort---->Sort---->transformer---->join/lookup---->O/p
File
(1). In the first sort stage, make class_id and marks fields
as keys, sort by descending and then create a Key change column.
(2). In second sort stage, make class_id only as a key
(don't sort previously sorted) and create a cluster key
change column.
(3). You will get the o/p as given below:
Class_Id, Marks, KeyChange, ClusterKeyChange
102,90,1,1
102,35,1,0
101,60,1,1
101,50,1,0
101,40,1,0
(4). In transformer stage take a integer type variable say
var1 and create one column say Rank.
Now, derive Var1 as :
if ClusterKeyChange=1 then 1 else Var1
And, derive Rank as :
if ClusterKeyChange=1 then 1 elseif (ClusterKeyChange=0 and
KeyChange=0) then Var1 else Var1+1
(5). Take only class_id, marks & rank as an o/p of the
transformer, so that you will have the o/p as given below:
Class_id, Marks, Rank
102,90,1
102,35,2
101,60,1
101,50,2
101,40,3
(6). Now finally, apply join/lookup and take this o/p as a
Reference data and Primary data will be the Source I/p File.
Take Class_id and Marks as keys and derive Rank to the o/p,
so that you will get the finally o/p as given below:
class_id Marks Rank
101 50 2
101 60 1
101 40 3
102 90 1
102 35 2
