Union Transformation Overview

Union Transformation Overview

Use the Union transformation to merge data from multiple pipelines or pipeline branches into one pipeline branch.
The Union transformation is an active transformation with multiple input groups and one output group. It merges sources with matching ports, and it passes data through an output group that has the same port structure as the input groups. Use a Union transformation in the Developer tool to merge data from multiple sources without removing the duplicate rows.
For example, you want to combine customer account data from American Bank and California Bank. You can create a mapping that contains a Union transformation to merge data from the source objects and write to a target object.
The following figure shows a mapping with a Union transformation:
The mapping contains two source data objects, a Union transformation, and a target data object. The Union transformation has two input groups that receive customer data from each source. It has one output group that writes all customer data to the target.
