Application Source Qualifier for PeopleSoft Sources Overview

Application Source Qualifier for PeopleSoft Sources Overview

When you use a PeopleSoft source definition in a mapping, you connect it to an Application Source Qualifier. The Application Source Qualifier represents the record set you want the PowerCenter Integration Service to return when you run the session. Use the Application Source Qualifier to represent application data in PeopleSoft systems.
The Designer generates a query to extract source data based on the Application Source Qualifier connected ports, transformation properties, and the relationships between connected and associated source definitions.
In the Application Source Qualifier, you can complete the following tasks:
  • Specify sorted ports.
    When you specify a number for sorted ports, the Designer adds an ORDER BY clause to the default query for PeopleSoft records. This orders source data by the number of ports you enter.
  • Select only distinct values from the source.
    When you choose Select Distinct, the Designer adds a SELECT DISTINCT statement to the default query. This returns only distinct source rows.
  • Join data from the same PeopleSoft system.
    When you join sources, the Designer adds the join conditions to a WHERE clause in the default query. You can join two or more PeopleSoft records with key relationships by connecting them to one Application Source Qualifier. You can also join a detail tree with its detail record for imported tree sources. Use the default join or create a custom join.
  • Filter data.
    When you enter a source filter, the Designer adds the filter conditions to a WHERE clause in the default query. Use a source filter to remove source rows you do not need in the data flow.
  • Create a custom extract query.
    You can create an extract override for PeopleSoft records. An extract override replaces the default query. You can create an extract override that includes defined transformation settings, or you can override all existing transformation settings.
  • Extract current data.
    You can include a WHERE clause in the default query to return only the current rows according to the date you specify.
The Application Source Qualifier includes the following transformation options:
  • Filter
  • Join Override
  • Extract Override
  • Number of Sorted Fields
  • Tracing Level
  • Select Distinct
  • Extract Current Rows
  • Extract Date
  • Effective Date Join Order
The Properties tab of the Application Source Qualifier only shows the applicable transformation options for the particular source definition. For example, the Extract Current Rows option only appears for Application Source Qualifiers with effective dated PeopleSoft records.
