Step 3. Configure the Aggregator Transformation

Add an Aggregator transformation to the mapping and configure dynamic ports to receive any new and changed columns from the Joiner transformation. Create an aggregate expression to calculate the total price of customer orders and group the aggregation by customer.

Add an Aggregator transformation Agg_CustomerOrders to the mapping.

Create dynamic ports in the Aggregator transformation:

From the Output group in the Joiner transformation, drag the From_Read_CUSTOMER dynamic port to the Aggregator transformation.

A dynamic port From_Read_CUSTOMER appears in the Aggregator transformation.

From the From_Read_ORDERS dynamic port of the Output group in the Joiner transformation, drag the O_TOTALPRICE_DTL generated port to the Aggregator transformation.

The following image shows the ports from the Joiner transformation linked to the Aggregator transformation:

The mapping contains the Read_CUSTOMER, Read_ORDERS, Join_CustomerOrders, and the Agg_CustomerOrders transformations. The All Ports groups from the Read transformations are linked to the two dynamic ports in the Joiner transformation. The From_Read_CUSTOMER dynamic port from the Output group in the Joiner transformation is linked to a dynamic port in the Aggregator transformation. The O_TOTALPRICE_DTL generated port from the From_Read_ORDERS dynamic port of the Output group in the Joiner transformation is linked to a port in the Aggregator transformation.

In the

Properties

view, click the

Ports

tab.

Click the

New

button to create a port to aggregate prices of the orders.

The Ports tab contains the New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Move Up, and Move Down buttons.

The Developer tool creates a new port called Field.

Select the new port, and change the column values as follows:

Name: O_TOTALAMOUNT

Type: decimal

Precision: 10

Scale: 2

Input: Clear the selection to make this port an output-only port.

The following image shows the ports in the Aggregator transformation:

The Ports tab in the Properties view of the Aggregator transformation lists the dynamic port and the two ports in the Aggregator transformation.

In the Expression column for the O_TOTALAMOUNT port, click the

Open

button.

The Ports tab lists the ports in the Aggregator transformation. O_TOTALAMOUNT column is select and the Expression column for the port contains the Open button.

The

Aggregator Expression

window appears.

Replace the existing expression in the editor with the following expression:

SUM(O_TOTALPRICE_DTL)

The Aggregator Expression dialog box has Functions, Ports, and Parameters tab. The dialog box has an Expression editor area. The Ports tab shows the ports in the Aggregator transformation. The Expression editor contains the expression SUM(O_TOTALPRICE_DTL).

Click

Validate

to validate the expression.

Click

to exit the

Aggregator Expression

editor.

In the

Properties

view, click the

Group By

tab.

Specify the group by port to aggregate the total price by market segment as follows:

Make sure that

Value

from the

Specify by

list is selected.

Click

Choose

The

Ports

dialog box appears.

Select the checkbox next to C_CUSTKEY and click

The following image shows the selected group by port:

The Group By tab shows that the group by property is specified as a value and the port C_CUSTKEY is listed as a group by port.

You can preview the Aggregator transformation data to make sure that it contains the expected results. In the mapping editor, right-click the Aggregator transformation and select

Run Data Viewer

. The data calculated by the transformation appears in the

Data Viewer

view.
