Filter situation / variable filter

Question

I've the following situation in Filter I give to extract data out of source.
I've 3 filter conditions out of which 2 are constants and one varies every time.
So I gave the first 2 as filters in Source which are working just fine. For the 3rd one I created filter table and joined it with the source to make the join condition as my filter. But whats happening is ODI first extracts data from Source(all data) and while writting in Working temp table its using the join condition. The reason its doing this way because Source is DB2 table and my filter table is Oracle. (I guess DB2 didnt like heterogenous joint condition)
So instead of pulling 300 records from source its pulling almost 2 million records and then doing the join at working temp table.
So instead of 30 seconds the whole process now takes more than 2 hours. How can I pass a variable filter to a source.
Can I use a parameter file kind of thing(like in Informatica)

Answer 1

Only one problem, I duplicated an ash file to downloads (and modified part of it to differentiate the copies) to test it, but the script doesn't seem to be setting it as "theNewFiles", with the variable returning {}. Any ideas? Or am I doing something wrong?
I really don't know. The script seems to work flawlessly in all my tests. Did you choose the right folder, the one called “New Location”, when asked by the script to choose a folder? Did the script work with some other files?
I'd also like to be able to run the script without intervention (possibly even as a folder action script)
Then the “choose folder” statement should be replaced with something like “set newLocation to POSIX file "/Users/curtisblack/Documents/New Location"” for example. The new Folder Action script (which should be attached to the Downloads folder) might then look like follows:
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving theseItems
set newLocation to POSIX file "/Users/curtisblack/Documents/New Location" -- or some other location
tell application "Finder"
set theNewFiles to files of thisFolder whose name extension is in {"txt", "ash"}
repeat with thisFile in theNewFiles
set thisName to name of thisFile
set theOldFiles to (files of the entire contents of folder newLocation whose name is thisName)
if theOldFiles is not {} then
move thisFile to container of item 1 of theOldFiles with replacing
end if
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
--END OF SCRIPT
