Creating a Reusable Lookup Transformation

Creating a Reusable Lookup Transformation

Create a Lookup transformation to look up data in a flat file, logical data object, reference table, or relational data object.
  1. Select a project or folder in the
    Object Explorer
    view.
  2. Click
    File
    New
    Transformation
    .
  3. Browse to the Lookup wizard.
  4. Select
    Flat File Data Object Lookup
    ,
    Logical Data Object Lookup
    ,
    Reference Table Lookup
    , or
    Relational Data Object Lookup
    .
  5. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    New Lookup Transformation
    dialog box appears.
  6. Select a physical data object or reference table in the Developer tool.
  7. Enter a name for the transformation.
  8. In the
    On multiple matches
    dropdown, choose the strategy to use when the Lookup transformation finds multiple rows that match the lookup condition.
  9. Click
    Finish
    .
    The Lookup transformation appears in the editor.
  10. In the
    Ports
    section of the
    Overview
    view, add output ports to the transformation.
    The following figure shows the CUSTOMER_NO output port in a Lookup transformation:
    The Overview view shows general information, such as the Lookup transformation name, description, and physical data object, and the ports included in the Lookup transformation.
  11. On the
    Run-time
    tab of the
    Properties
    view, select
    Lookup Caching Enabled
    to enable lookup caching.
    You must add the Lookup transformation to a mapping before you can configure run-time lookup properties.
  12. On the
    Lookup
    tab of the
    Properties
    view, add one or more lookup conditions.
  13. On the
    Advanced
    tab of the
    Properties
    view, configure the tracing level, dynamic lookup cache properties, and run-time connection.
  14. Save the transformation.
