Well a Hash is the file that is used for lookups in a Server Job....Parallel Jobs uses either FileSets or DataSets via a Lookup Stage

Hi trokosz

This is a server question and not related to Parallel Jobs. In server job you can have reference links can be a table or a hash file. Thats what manoj is asking which one is more efficient

Hi rasi,

It is called a hashed file and not a hash file.
