  • Passive Router Transformation

    Router is passive transformation, but one may argue that it is passive because in case if we use default group (only) then there is no change in number of rows. What explanation will you give?

    Router is an Active Transformation, Most of the time we use router only when we are going to apply multiple conditions on a records, It is absolutely possible for a record to satisfy one or more conditions thus making the router Active, Router is the only active transformation where the number of output records from the transformation is greater or equal to the number of input records given to the transformation.

  • What r the active and passive transforamtions?

    An active transforamtion can change the number of rows that pass through it.A passive transformation does not change the number of rows that pass through it.

    Thats not correct. By this definition Update Strategy should be a passive transformation but it is not.So correct answer is that any transformation which can change 1. Number of rows 2. Row type i.e. DD_INSERT, DD_DELETE... 3. Transaction control... All these are active ones.
