78. Why is the union transformation active?

Ans:

In Informatica, union transformation is the active transformation because it combines a two or more data streams into one. The total no of rows passing through the Union is equal to no of rows passing out of it, and sequence of rows from an input stream preserved are same in the output stream, but cannot preserve a position of the rows.

79. What is use of an incremental aggregation in Informatica?

Ans:

Incremental aggregation usually gets created when the session gets created through an execution of an application. This aggregation allows to capture changes in a source data for aggregating calculations in the session. If a source changes incrementally, and can capture those changes and configure a session to process them. It will allow to update a target incrementally, rather than deleting previous load data and recalculating similar data each time to run the session.

80. What doesa reusable transformation mean?

Ans:

Reusable transformations are practiced a numerous times in the mapping. It is stored as a metadata and is various from other mappings that use transformation. If any changes are to be performed to reusable transformation, then all mappings where the transformation is used get nullified.
