ROUTER TRANSFORMATION

Router Transformation is a Connected, Active transformation

ROUTER TRANSFORMATION


A Router transformation is similar to a Filter transformation because both transformations allow you to use a condition to test data. Router transformation tests data for one or more conditions and gives you the option to route rows of data that do not meet any of the conditions to a default output group

Working with Groups

A Router transformation has the following types of groups:  Input  Output Output Groups There are two types of output groups:  User defined  Default


UserUser-Defined Groups
   

create a user-defined group to test a condition based on incoming data userconsists of output ports and a group filter condition Create one user-defined group for each condition that you want to specify userThe PowerCenter Server uses the condition to evaluate each row of incoming data

The Default Group



The Designer creates the default group after you create one new useruserdefined group Does not have a group filter condition associated with it all of the conditions evaluate to FALSE, the PowerCenter Server passes the row to the default group

 

If you want the PowerCenter Server to drop all rows in the default group, do not connect it to a transformation or a target in a mapping The Designer deletes the default group when you delete the last useruserdefined group from the list A group filter condition returns TRUE or FALSE for each row that passes through the transformation, depending on whether a row satisfies the specified condition Server passes the rows of data that evaluate to TRUE to each transformation or target that is associated with each user-defined usergroup
