Creating a Joiner transformation

Use a Joiner transformation to join data from two related heterogenous sources.
Before you create a Joiner transformation, add Source transformations to the mapping to represent source data. Include any other upstream transformations that you want to use.
If the data in the two pipelines include matching field names, rename one set of fields in a transformation upstream from the Joiner transformation.
    1In the Transformation palette, drag a Joiner transformation onto the mapping canvas.
    2Connect an upstream transformation that represents one data set to the Master group of the Joiner transformation.
    To improve job performance, use the transformation that represents the smaller data set.
    3Connect an upstream transformation that represents the other data set to the Detail group of the Joiner transformation.
    4On the General tab, enter a name and optional description for the transformation.
    5On the Incoming Fields tab, configure the field rules that define the data that enters the transformation.
    6On the Join Condition tab, select the join yype.
    7To configure a join condition, select Simple for the join condition. Click Add New Join Condition, and then select the master and detail fields to use and the operator. You can create multiple join conditions.
    Alternatively, to use a parameter for the join condition, select Completely Parameterized for the join condition.
You can add downstream transformations to the mapping and configure them. When the mapping is complete, you can validate and save the mapping.
