Could any one please tell me how informatica behaves in the following situation?(Let me explain you with example: I have following expression in a mapping I would display either FAIL or PASS status to a record.RESULT=IIF((A > (100 - B))OR(C > (100 - D))OR(E0) , 'FAIL', IIF(STATUS_I = 'FAIL', 'FAIL', 'PASS'))Where the following variables are decimalsA (Decimal(9,2)) = 2.0179896789716073791692725900792e-5B(Decimal(9,2)) = 99C(Decimal(9,2)) = 50D(Decimal(9,2))= 99E(Decimal(9,2))= 0F(Decimal(9,2))=2681.75Problem is that system is showing FAIL but expected to be PASS.How the systems behaves with exponent values?1) would informatica drops the exponent and takes 2 as 'A'2) takes exponent (A) as is (0.00%)

I think you have to use below expressionIIF ( (A > (100 - B)),'FAIL', IIF( (C > (100 - D)),'FAIL', IIF((E<= F AND F>0), 'FAIL', IIF(STATUS_I = 'FAIL', 'FAIL', 'PASS'))))Regards,Vamsi

The most important significance of source qualifier is that it converts the datatypes (coming from a source) into informatica compatible datatypes.Rest all properties like distinct, overide, filtering records can be achieved by other transformations of informatica as well.

Retrieve only Distinct Record from 'flatfile' Source
How to retrieve only distinct record from 'flatfile' source, without using sorter transformation? Is it posible? How?
sheeladere
- Jan 5th, 2010
We can use Aggregate transformation for this. Group by on all the columns in the Aggregator and get only first or last record from the group, it will give you distinct records.But sorter is the best option, I am not sure why you want to avoid it, is there any specific reason?
