Use sort stage, put city1, city2 and distance as key columns, set allow duplicates as false.

By using the sort stage we cant remove the duplicates. It sorts the values by mentioned columns and it wont delete the records such scenario

1. Create 2 Stage variables in transformer stage as NewCity1 & NewCity2
2. Give value for NewCity1 = if City1 < City2 then City1 else City2 end
3. Give value for NewCity2 = if City1 < City2 then City2 else City1 end
4. Use remove duplicates stage and give Key as NewCity1 & NewCity2

Hi, Ive solved this as mentioned below.
seq stage (source)----->sort stage ------> transformer stage -----> remove dupli stage ---->seq stage(target)
read the source and add FILENAME COLUMN column and sort the 1st column in SORT STAGE and in TRANSFORMER stage take in StageVariable and write an expression like "if DSLink18.COL1 < DSLink18.COL2 then DSLink18.COL1 : DSLink18.COL2 else DSLink18.COL1 : DSLink18.COL2".
and assign this sv to a new column COl4 and in REMOVEDUPLCATE stage use COL4.
thats it. irreseptive of no of records this job will run.
thanks.

Job Design :
Sequential file(I/p) --> Transformer --> Sequential file (o/p)
In the Transformer stage , define 2 stage varibles st1 and st2.
Derivation for st1 => If city2:city1=st2 Then 1 Else 0
Derivation for st2 => city1:city2
Now, in the transformer give a constraint => st1=0.
This should remove duplicate records in this scenario.
