Row grouping tab

Row grouping tab

Specify how to group the input rows by one of the following methods:

• Specific number of rows.

• Specific field.

• Specified duration of time.

You can use the input rows in a transformation or job entry, or you can get the records themselves by using the Get rows from result step in a transformation.

To access the Field to group rows on or Duration time when collecting rows options, delete the default value in the Number of rows to send to transformation option.

Option	Group
Number of rows to send to transformation	Specify a number. After every N number of rows, the job will be executed and these N rows will be passed to the transformation.
Field to group rows on	Specify a field for grouping rows. Rows will be collected in a group as long as the field value stays the same. If the value changes, the transformation will be executed and the accumulated rows will be passed to the transformation.
Duration time when collecting rows	Specify a time in milliseconds. This value is the amount of time the step will spend collecting rows prior to the execution of the transformation.
