When you configure a Lookup transformation to use a dynamic cache, the Designer adds the NewLookupRow port to the transformation. The Integration Service assigns a value to the port, depending on the action it performs to the lookup cache.

The following table lists the possible NewLookupRow values:

When the Integration Service reads a row, it changes the lookup cache depending on the results of the lookup query and the Lookup transformation properties you define. It assigns the value 0, 1, or 2 to the NewLookupRow port to indicate if it inserts or updates the row in the cache, or makes no change.

The NewLookupRow value indicates how the Integration Service changes the lookup cache. It does not change the row type. Therefore, use a Filter or Router transformation and an Update Strategy transformation to keep the target table and lookup cache synchronized.

Configure the Filter transformation to pass new and updated rows to the Update Strategy transformation before passing them to the cached target. Use the Update Strategy transformation to change the row type of each row to insert or update, depending on the NewLookupRow value.

You can drop the rows that do not change the cache, or you can pass them to another target.

Define the filter condition in the Filter transformation based on the value of NewLookupRow. For example, use the following condition to pass both inserted and updated rows to the cached target:
