Mappings - Types

• Simple Mapping – Loading from Source to Staging

• Medium Complex Mapping – SCD Type 1

• Complex Mapping – SCD Type 2, Fact Loading

• What is Complex Mapping –

• Time Taken to Load the Data


• Complex Logic to Develop

• Loading of Data Using Aggregator Transformation – Taking More


Time

• Complex Mapping – SCD Type 2

Unit Test

• First Check the Data Types in the Source and Target.

• First Check the Data in the Source – by writing SQL Queries

• Do the Sample Count of the Records, then Take one set of data
