I have one scenario below, how can we achieve.

City1,City2,Distance
==============
blr, pune,1000 km
pune, blr, 1000 km

As we have same data in 2 records but need to delete any one of the duplicate record.

Use the remove duplicate stage and use the hash partition, select the key column as 3 rd column (1000 km).
and select record retained = first , it will remove the duplicate record, you can also use sort stage for this.

Seq----transformer---seq.
Go to the stage variable properties create two staging variables first is s1 and second is s2 .
s2 = if inputcolumn = s1 then s2 +1 else 1
s1= inputcolumn
create new column is count.
s2= count

1.Without using stage variable how can we delete the duplicates using Transformer?

Mokshada

• Jul 10th, 2021

The prerequisite for this is data should be partitioned by a key and sorted.
Later, follow the below steps:
S2 = if input.column = S1 then 0 else 1
S1 = input.column
In constraint : S2=1

And, you will get the expected result.

We can use the option "generate multiple files" in sequential file stage and then assign the data column as Key. SO with every change in key it will generate a new target file.

Use below constraints in xfm to move the data into 3 different columns. Make the xfm partition to run sequential.
mod(@inrownum,3) = 1
mod(@inrownum,3) = 2
mod(@inrownum,3) = 0

This will move first record to first output file, second to second and third record to third reference link.

If you are using Sequential file stage, there we have an option "Read the first row", make it parametrized.
and pass the value to the job using dsjob command as the parameter. also, you may like to use Invocation ID as you need to run the job with the different instances.
