Target Load issue

Hi,

I have say 1000 records in the source and when looked up against a hash it matches only 200. Now, I should load 1000 into target instead of 200
Here for one field I get the value from the lookup

i.e. 200 records with values for the lookup field from the hash file and for the rest 800 records the field should contain null

I have a problem like it loads only 200 since I am getting values from hash also. Any suggestion pls

Regards

In simple terms, you want a left outer join to be done on your data. Instead of lookup you use a join stage and give join type as left outer. You will get the required output.

There is no Join stage in server jobs.

From your description I believe you have a constraint expression in your Transformer stage that is only allowing rows to be output where the lookup succeeded.

Another possibility is that you are delivering NULL to a column that is defined as NOT NULL in the target database. In this case there should be warnings in the job log.
