How to handle the records that contain different number of columns

Question

hi all,
I have a file (as source data)includes order information like:
H,P001,Smith,Sunnyvale
D,P001,PR97623,150,10.99,Ice cream
D,P001,PR33267,45,32.66,Popcorn
T,P001
H,P003,Williams,San Jose
X,P003,PR23563,19,25.54,Peanuts
T,P003
I want to transfer the file record to three target tables,
the record marked "H" to "Summary" table and sum money of the detail
the record marked "D" to "Detail" table
the record marked "X" to "Error" table
the expect result as below:
Summary table
Order_No Customer Address Total_Money
P001 Smith Sunnyvale 3118.2
(※3118.2=150*10.99+45*32.66)
Detail table
Order_No Prodcut_Id Prodcut_Name Quantity Price
P001 PR97623 Ice cream 150 10.99
P001 PR33267 Popcorn 45 32.66
Error table
Head Order_No Record_No
X P003 6
(※6 is the line no in the file)
How can I do this in ODI , could anyone give some hints?

Answer 1

Hi AGUI,
You can do this by the following way,
1) create the File datastore for the file with 6 columns
while creation select the following option file format as Delimited
record seperator as MS-DOS and field sep as other specify "," in the text box.
-- check the file datastore maps correctly by view the data.
2) create the interface int1 for transfer the data from this file to temp table( the temp table should have one more column for getting the line number( it should be the sequence number).
3) create the another interface int2, in this interafce you need to transfer the data from the[b] temp table to Detail table (use filter for gatting D record.
4) create the interace int3 transfer the data from the temp table to Summary table. please keep the total_money field as null for this interace
and use Odi procedure for updating this field with reference of details table.
5) create interface int4 for transfer the error date by transferinf from temp table to error table.
Thanks,
