multiple o/p links from transfomer to single link collector

Hi,
Can I have multiple o/p links from the single transformer to the same link collector? i.e., instead of having 9 different transformer I would like make necessary derivations in a single transformer and connect to link collector through multiple output links based upon derivations.
Thanks
Srikie

Srikie,

yes, you can have several transform output links going into a collector. You can use that functionality to do what you wish to do. You need to keep a couple of things in mind, such as the collector partitioning algorithm. If you use round-robin then you need to have equal amounts of input data coming in on each link otherwise you will get a hang.

Do I have the comfort of specifying the collection algorithm in mainframe job?
