How To Implement SCD2 With Dynamic Lookup

This document provides steps to implement SCD Type 2 with dynamic lookup in Informatica. There are two main challenges - only fetching unique records from the lookup table to populate the cache, and setting the associated expression for the dynamic wid column. The steps include creating a lookup with a SQL override to return unique records, setting the DWID column to use a sequence generator, routing new and updated records to different target instances, and developing an update strategy expression. Following these steps allows implementing SCD2 with dynamic lookup in Informatica.

How to Implement SCD2 with Dynamic Lookup?

Scenario 8: How to Implement SCD2 with Dynamic Lookup?



I am assuming you already know concept of SCD2 and have idea about Dynamic Lookup.
If you want to brush up your dynamic lookup concept please visit:
http://informaticachamp.blogspot.in/p/introduction-of-dynamic-lookup.html

Analysis/Theory:
While Implementing SCD2 with Dynamic Lookup the challenge is to fetch only unique records from
lookup table to cache because Dynamic Lookup Cache doesn't support duplicate value and session will
fail if any duplicate records is trying to insert into Lookup Cache. (Challenge 1)
Second Challenge which port or how to set associated expression for DWID column. (A column which
would be primary key in SCD2) (Challenge 2)
For beginners: We are not taking source primary key as a primary key in target table(Dimension Table)
we are creating new primary key.

Practically:

I am implementing SCD2 with version based upon Salary and taking Oracle default table EMP.

Source Table Target Table (Dimension Table)
EMPNO (NUMBER) EMPNO (NUMBER)
ENAME (VARCHAR2) ENAME (VARCHAR2)
JOB (VARCHAR2) JOB (VARCHAR2)
MGR (NUMBER) MGR (NUMBER)
HIREDATE (DATE) HIREDATE (DATE)
SAL (NUMBER) SAL (NUMBER)
COMM (NUMBER) COMM (NUMBER)
DEPTNO (NUMBER) DEPTNO (NUMBER)
DWID (NUMBER)
VERSION (NUMBER)

Step 1: We need one source and three target instance.

Note: Your target table must contain a primary key on DWID. If not at table level create it at Informatica
Level.
Creating Primary key at Informatica Level
Target Designer-->Right Click on your table-->Edit-->Column Tab ( In the right corner you will see NOT A
KEY select PRIMARY KEY for DWID column from drop down list)

Step 2:
Lookup
Create Lookup and follow steps below...
A) Drag and drop EMPNO, SAL from source Qualifier to Lookup.

B) Delete Ports/Uncheck all ports as Lookup Port except EMPNO, SAL, DWID

C) Lookup-->Right Click-->Edit-->Condition Tab
Lookup Table Column Operator Transformation Port
EMPNO = EMPNO1

D) Lookup-->Right Click-->Edit--> Properties Tab
Dynamic Lookup Cache (Check)
Insert Else Update (Check)
Lookup SQL Override:
SELECT SCD2.SAL as SAL, SCD2.DWID as DWID, SCD2.EMPNO as EMPNO FROM SCD2 WHERE
SCD2.VERSION=1 (Challenge 1 accomplished)

E) Lookup-->Right Click-->Edit--> PORT Tab
Select Associated Expression from drop down list.
Port Name Associated Expression
EMPNO EMPNO1
SAL SAL1
DWID (Change Data Type = Integer) From drop down list select Sequence-ID(Challenge 2
accomplish)

Step 3
Expression
Create Two Ports
New_Version (Output Port) = 1
Old_Version (Output Port) = 0

Note: While connecting ports to expression take all ports from Source Qualifier and take
NewLookupRow, empno, DWID, SAL from Lookup.


Step 4
Router
Create two Groups
New_Record: NewLookupRow=1
Update_Record: NewLookupRow=2

Step 5
Sequence Generator
Create Sequence Generator
(No need to change any default properties of Sequence Generator)

Step 6
Connect New_Record group ports with New_Record port to First Instance of target
Connect NEXTVAL port from Sequence Generator to DWID column of target.

Step 7
Connect Update_Record group ports with New_Record port to Second Instance of target
Connect NEXTVAL port from Sequence Generator to DWID column of target.

Step 8
Update Startegy
Create Update Strategy
Drag and Drop DWID and Old_Version port from Router Update_Record group to update strategy.
Develop Update Strategy Expression in Properties tab (DD_UPDATE)

Step 9
Connect DWID to DWID and Old_Version to Version column in Third Instance of Target.

Step 10
Create Session
Session-->Right Click-->Edit-->Properties Tab-->set
Treat Source Rows as DATA DRIVEN

Step 11
Create workflow and Run it :-)

BINGO!!!
