371. I have a situation here to load the Table into informatica. I have 5 tem
porary tables as sources. They look like: Table1: (K - Key, N-Null, X,Y,Z - valu
es) K1 X N N N N K2 X N N N N -------------------------- Table2: K1 N X N N N K2
N X N N N -------------------------- the other 3 tables are in the same way. Bu
t there can be a situation like any of the table can contain duplicates like: K1
X N N N N K1 Y N N N N -------------------------- This kind of records should b
e errored out. Because of this, we can't use aggregator/group by as we are not s
ure which one should be removed. How can we obtain this functionality in Informa
tica.
