Sample transaction control mappings with multiple targets

In a mapping with multiple targets, a Transaction Control transformation can be effective for one target and ineffective for another target. If each target is connected to an effective Transaction Control transformation, the mapping is valid. If one target in the mapping is not connected to an effective Transaction Control transformation, the mapping is invalid.

The following image shows a valid mapping with both an ineffective and an effective Transaction Control transformation:

The mapping contains two pipelines. The first pipeline contains the following transformations: Source, TransactionControl_1, Expression_1, Target_1. The second pipeline contains the following transformations: Source, TransactionControl_1, Aggregator, Expression_2, TransactionControl_2, Target_2.

Data Integration

processes TransactionControl_1, evaluates the transaction control expression, and creates transaction boundaries. The mapping does not include a transformation that drops transaction boundaries between TransactionControl_1 and Target_1, making TransactionControl_1 effective for Target_1.

Data Integration

uses the transaction boundaries defined by TransactionControl_1 for Target_1.

However, the mapping includes a transformation that drops transaction boundaries between TransactionControl_1 and Target_2, which makes TransactionControl_1 ineffective for Target_2. When

Data Integration

processes the Aggregator transformation, with transformation scope set to All Input, it drops the transaction boundaries defined by TransactionControl_1 and outputs all rows in an open transaction. Then

Data Integration

evaluates TransactionControl_2, creates transaction boundaries, and uses them for Target_2.

If a roll back occurs in TransactionControl_1,

Data Integration

rolls back only rows from Target_1. It does not roll back any rows from Target_2.

The following image shows an invalid mapping with both an ineffective and an effective Transaction Control transformation:

The mapping contains two pipelines. The first pipeline contains the following transformations: Source, mapplet "mplt_TransactionControl," Aggregator_1, Target_1. The second pipeline contains the following transformations: Source, mapplet "mplt_TransactionControl," Aggregator_2, Expression, TransactionControl_2, Target_2.

The mapplet, mplt_TransactionControl, contains a Transaction Control transformation. It is ineffective for Target_1 and Target_2. The transformation scope for Aggregator_1 is All Input. It is an active source for Target_1. The transformation scope for Aggregator_2 is All Input. It is an active source for Target_2. TransactionControl_2 is effective for Target_2.

The mapping is invalid because Target_1 is not connected to an effective Transaction Control transformation.
