Joining incoming data

Joining incoming data

If more than one upstream transformation is connected to the Hierarchy Builder transformation, set primary and foreign keys to join the incoming data.
You can perform the following actions to set and remove keys:
  • To set a field as a key, click the
    Key
    column of the field that you want to set, and then specify the field as either a primary or foreign key. When you set a foreign key, you also select the name of the source that contains the related primary key.
  • To remove a primary or foreign key designation, click the
    Key
    column of the field and select
    Not a key
    .
  • To clear all the keys, click the action menu at the top of the
    Hierarchy Fields
    panel, and then select
    Clear Keys
    .

This should state that a primary/foreign key field must be of data type bigint or string.
