RE: How to Create Surrogate Key using Ab Initio?

Hi Bava

There r many ways to create Surrogatekey but it depends on your business logic. here u can try these ways...

1. use next_in_sequence() function in your transform.

2.use Assign key values component (if ur gde is higher than 1.10)

3.write a stored proc to this and call this stor proc wherever u need

...... Hope these stuff will help.

Bye Bava

For #1 if the layout is not serial you might need to do something like:

(next_in_sequence()-1)*no_of_partition()+this_partition()
