Hi,

You are having only one source i. e. flat file as your source right?

You should use lookup transformation here.Looking up this source and load the target by getting required fields

We can lookup flat files you know that right?

After that use filter transformation for restricting null values.

HI,

There are many ways but the easiest one is, you have to use a joiner, as we can join a flat file and a relation source using joiner. This will match your records.

The filter can be used for filtering the unwanted record, but it's better to implement filter condition level 'where ....'

You should use joiner, then you can use filter if you want, or you can enter the filter condition in joiner as well.

the purpose of using lookup transformation is to check the existing data in target table with the column cust_id after satsifying the condition the rows obtained are used according to your business logic using filter transformation
