If you want the PowerCenter Integration Service to select only unique values from a PeopleSoft Record, use the Select Distinct option.
For example, you enable the select distinct in an Application Source Qualifier. The Designer adds SELECT DISTINCT to the default query, as follows:
SELECT DISTINCT PS_PROJ_VARY_BA_VW.SETID, PS_PROJ_VARY_BA_VW.BUSINESS_UNIT, PS_PROJ_VARY_BA_VW.PROJECT_ID FROM PS_PROJ_VARY_BA_VW
You might use Select Distinct to extract unique customer IDs from a table listing total sales. You can filter out unnecessary data early in the data flow, which improves session performance.
By default, the PowerCenter Integration Service uses a SELECT statement to select all data.
To use Select Distinct:
In the Mapping Developer, edit an Application Source Qualifier transformation, and select the Properties tab.
Check Select Distinct.
Click OK to close the dialog box and save your changes.
