Welcome aboard.

My guess (since you did not provide any information about your job design) is that you have a Modify stage in which both of the following are true.
(1) Field pl_id appears in a KEEP specification or does not appear in a DROP specification.
(2) There is a specification that derives a value for field pl_id.

You can't have both.

In future can you please try to devise a subject that more accurately describes the actual problem? This will assist future searchers. For example this thread could have had a subject like "... is already kept".

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
Actually the job is designed to implement SCD type2 (using flag y/n), in that i had used the Oracle stage where i was allowed to upsert(insert as well as update). In that i used the same id for refering the rows. I guess i got that error in that place. Can you please help me out in this error. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Bhasan.
