cache until it completes aggregate calculations. When u run a session that uses an aggregator transformation, the informatica server creates index and data caches in memory to

process the transformation. If the informatica server requires more space, it stores overflow values in cache files.
Is This Answer Correct ?

10 Yes

3 No

Ans use sorted input option to decrease the use wer of aggregator # 2 cache.

Harit ha

use filter transformation before aggregator transformation to to rduce unnecessary aggregation. Limit the number of connected input/output or output ports to reduce the amount of data the Aggregator transformation stores in the data cache.

Re: How can yoU improve session performance in aggregator transformation? Ans if you sort the input yet do not select the wer sorted input # 4 option, the aggregator treats the data as 0 Dilip

unsorted data & performs the task hence its cache size increases. the performance is degraded despite using a sorter.

11 4 Yes No

Re: How can yoU improve session performance in aggregator transformation? Ans hi haritha wer # 7 u r correct 0 Srik anth

For using sorted input option, the order of group by ports in the agg and sorter transfomratoins should be same as well as the number of ports also same. we can filter out data early in the morning by using sq trans rather than using filter before agg hence reducing unwanted data in teh mapping.
Is This Answer Correct ?

0 0 Yes No

Re: How can yoU improve session performance in aggregator transformation? Ans session performance in aggregator T/R can be wer increased by # 8 aggregation cache i.e through increamental

aggregation. Aggregation cache has tow caches i)index ii) data. For first run it performs aggregation

calculation in aggregation cache.Index cache contains group by port values.Data cache will contain if any variable ports are created and output port on which we want to implement aggregate function. Rowid of last record which is participated in Agg. T/R will be saved in repository. During second run it finds the rowid of last record then it performs increamental aggregation.The integration service will check the historical information in the index cache file for corresponding group.If it finds it performs aggregation operation increamentally. If not finds then it will adda new port for aggreagtion.

you apply captured changes in the source to aggregate calculations in a session.

Qu wt is Dynamic lookup Transformation? esti when we use?how we use? on Question Submitted By :: Guest I also faced this Question!! Rank

Answer Posted By

Re: wt is Dynamic lookup Transformation? when we use?how we use? An sw er #1

When we use dynamic lookup the process is as follows: 1. When the first record is read from the lookup table/flatfile, server keeps the value in the RAM also the same information is written into two auto generated files (having random names, forgot the type, hope it is something related to index and cache). 2. When the next record comes for lookup, first the record is searched in the RAM or created file based on the conditions used in lookup condition. 3. If not found then searched in

Ashis

the Lookup table. 4. In case of dynamic lookup once value is fetched from the source with modified fields it will be updated in the RAM or autogenerated file for further lookup for same key values, before the completion of the session. (Example:- in case if emp_id 101 got modified more than one time between the two runs). 5. In case of static lookup. It will always look into the already existing value in the lookup table.

Re: wt is Dynamic lookup Transformation? when we use?how we use? An sw er #2

What Ashis told is Exactly correct apart of this Actually when lookup table contains less data
