What is update strategy and what are the options for update strategy?

Scenario:

Solution:

Informatica processes the source data row-by-row. By default every row is marked to be inserted in the target table. If the row has to be updated/inserted based on some logic Update Strategy transformation is used. The condition can be specified in Update Strategy to mark the processed row for update or insert.

Following options are available for update strategy :

DD_INSERT : If this is used the Update Strategy flags the row for insertion. Equivalent numeric value of DD_INSERT is 0.

DD_UPDATE : If this is used the Update Strategy flags the row for update. Equivalent numeric value of DD_UPDATE is 1.

DD_DELETE : If this is used the Update Strategy flags the row for deletion. Equivalent numeric value of DD_DELETE is 2.

DD_REJECT : If this is used the Update Strategy flags the row for rejection. Equivalent numeric value of DD_REJECT is 3.

SQL Transformation with examples

============================================================================================= SQL Transformation with examples Use : SQL Transformation is a connected transformation used to process SQL queries in the midstream of a pipeline . We can insert, update, delete and retrieve rows from the database at run time using the SQL transformation. Use SQL transformation in script mode to run DDL (data definition language) statements like creating or dropping the tables. The following SQL statements can be used in the SQL transformation. Data Definition Statements (CREATE, ALTER, DROP, TRUNCATE, RENAME) DATA MANIPULATION statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE) DATA Retrieval Statement (SELECT) DATA Control Language Statements (GRANT, REVOKE) Transaction Control Statements (COMMIT, ROLLBACK) Scenario: Let’s say we want to create a temporary table in mapping while workflow is running for some intermediate calculation. We can use SQL transformat...

CMN_1650 A duplicate row was attempted to be inserted into a dynamic lookup cache Dynamic lookup error.

Scenario: I have 2 ports going through a dynamic lookup, and then to a router. In the router it is a simple case of inserting new target rows (NewRowLookup=1) or rejecting existing rows (NewRowLookup=0). However, when I run the session I'm getting the error: "CMN_1650 A duplicate row was attempted to be inserted into a dynamic lookup cache Dynamic lookup error. The dynamic lookup cache only supports unique condition keys." I thought that I was bringing through duplicate values so I put a distinct on the SQ. There is also a not null filter on both ports. However, whilst investigating the initial error that is logged for a specific pair of values from the source, there is only 1 set of them (no duplicates). The pair exists on the target so surely should just return from the dynamic lookup newrowlookup=0. Is this some kind of persistent data in the cache that is causing this to think that it is duplicate data? I haven't got the persistent cache or...

What is Delta data load? -> Consolidated Info

A delta load, by definition, is loading incremental changes to the data. When doing a delta load to a fact table, for example, you perform inserts only... appending the change data to the existing table. Top Delta checks can be done in a number of ways. Different logics can accomplish this. One way is to check if the record exists or not by doing a lookup on the keys. Then if the Keys don't exist then it should be inserted as new records and if the record exist then compare the Hash value of non key attributes of the table which are candidates for change. If the Hash values are different then they are updated records. (For Hash Values you can use MD5 function in Informatica) If you are keeping History (Full History) for the table then it adds a little more complexity in the sense that you have to update the old record and insert a new record for changed data. This can also be done with 2 separate tables with one as current version and another as History version.
