It looks Option lsquoCrsquo is also correctBut if we add a joiner transformation we should add a new SQ stage also so eliminating that(might not correct assumption)
A mapplet can be active or passive depending on the transformations in the mapplet Active mapplets contain one or more active transformations Passive mapplets contain only passive transformations
If you remove all active transformations from an active mapplet the mapplet becomes passive If you add an active transformation to a passive mapplet the mapplet becomes active

102SQL transformation always returns one row for each input row in which mode
a) IP Modeb) OP Modec) Query Moded) Script Mode
The SQL transformation runs in one of the following modes Script mode The SQL transformation runs ANSI SQL scripts that are externally located You pass a script name to the transformation with each input row The SQL transformation outputs one row for each input row Query mode The SQL transformation executes a query that you define in a query editor You can pass strings or parameters to the query to define dynamic queries or change the selection parameters You can output multiple rows when the query has a SELECT statement
103Is it possible to call Lookup from Java Transformation (YN)
Ans Yes
The following example shows how to complete a lookup on the NAME and ADDRESS input ports in a Java transformation and assign the return value to the COMPANY_NAME output portEnter the following code on the On Input Row code entry tabCOMPANY_NAME = (String)invokeJExpression(lkpmy_lookup(X1X2) new Object [] str1 str2 )generateRow()
104How commit interval affects performancea) Largeb) Smallc) As per DB network pacaket sized) Commit interval not affects performance
Ans C (Not sure)
The smaller the commit interval the more often the Integration Service writes to the target database and the slower the overall performance
If you increase the commit interval the number of times the Integration Service commits decreases and performance improvesWhen you increase the commit interval consider the log file limits in the target database If the commit interval is too high the Integration Service may fill the database log file and cause the session to failTherefore weigh the benefit of increasing the commit interval against the additional time you would spend recovering a failed session
105Which object canrsquot be used in Mapplet
a) Normalizerb) Lookupc) Expression
d) Reusable Sequence Generator
Ans A
106Function to create new row in Java Transformation
Ans generateRow()
When you call the generateRow method the Java transformation generates an output row using the current value of the output port variables If you want to generate multiple rows corresponding to an input row you can call the generateRow method more than once for each input row If you do not use the generateRow method in an active Java transformation the transformation does not generate output rows
You can add the generateRow method to the Java code on any code entry tab except the Import Packages and Java Expressions tabsYou can call the generateRow method in active transformations only If you call the generateRow method in a passive transformation the session generates an error
107How can we increase no of memory blocks to gain performance

It looks Option lsquoCrsquo is also correctBut if we add a joiner transformation we should add a new SQ stage also so eliminating that(might not correct assumption)
A mapplet can be active or passive depending on the transformations in the mapplet Active mapplets contain one or more active transformations Passive mapplets contain only passive transformations
If you remove all active transformations from an active mapplet the mapplet becomes passive If you add an active transformation to a passive mapplet the mapplet becomes active

102SQL transformation always returns one row for each input row in which mode
a) IP Modeb) OP Modec) Query Moded) Script Mode
The SQL transformation runs in one of the following modes Script mode The SQL transformation runs ANSI SQL scripts that are externally located You pass a script name to the transformation with each input row The SQL transformation outputs one row for each input row Query mode The SQL transformation executes a query that you define in a query editor You can pass strings or parameters to the query to define dynamic queries or change the selection parameters You can output multiple rows when the query has a SELECT statement
103Is it possible to call Lookup from Java Transformation (YN)
Ans Yes
The following example shows how to complete a lookup on the NAME and ADDRESS input ports in a Java transformation and assign the return value to the COMPANY_NAME output portEnter the following code on the On Input Row code entry tabCOMPANY_NAME = (String)invokeJExpression(lkpmy_lookup(X1X2) new Object [] str1 str2 )generateRow()
104How commit interval affects performancea) Largeb) Smallc) As per DB network pacaket sized) Commit interval not affects performance
Ans C (Not sure)
The smaller the commit interval the more often the Integration Service writes to the target database and the slower the overall performance
If you increase the commit interval the number of times the Integration Service commits decreases and performance improvesWhen you increase the commit interval consider the log file limits in the target database If the commit interval is too high the Integration Service may fill the database log file and cause the session to failTherefore weigh the benefit of increasing the commit interval against the additional time you would spend recovering a failed session
105Which object canrsquot be used in Mapplet
a) Normalizerb) Lookupc) Expression
d) Reusable Sequence Generator
Ans A
106Function to create new row in Java Transformation
Ans generateRow()
When you call the generateRow method the Java transformation generates an output row using the current value of the output port variables If you want to generate multiple rows corresponding to an input row you can call the generateRow method more than once for each input row If you do not use the generateRow method in an active Java transformation the transformation does not generate output rows
You can add the generateRow method to the Java code on any code entry tab except the Import Packages and Java Expressions tabsYou can call the generateRow method in active transformations only If you call the generateRow method in a passive transformation the session generates an error
107How can we increase no of memory blocks to gain performance

102SQL transformation always returns one row for each input row in which mode
a) IP Modeb) OP Modec) Query Moded) Script Mode
The SQL transformation runs in one of the following modes Script mode The SQL transformation runs ANSI SQL scripts that are externally located You pass a script name to the transformation with each input row The SQL transformation outputs one row for each input row Query mode The SQL transformation executes a query that you define in a query editor You can pass strings or parameters to the query to define dynamic queries or change the selection parameters You can output multiple rows when the query has a SELECT statement
103Is it possible to call Lookup from Java Transformation (YN)
Ans Yes
The following example shows how to complete a lookup on the NAME and ADDRESS input ports in a Java transformation and assign the return value to the COMPANY_NAME output portEnter the following code on the On Input Row code entry tabCOMPANY_NAME = (String)invokeJExpression(lkpmy_lookup(X1X2) new Object [] str1 str2 )generateRow()
104How commit interval affects performancea) Largeb) Smallc) As per DB network pacaket sized) Commit interval not affects performance
Ans C (Not sure)
The smaller the commit interval the more often the Integration Service writes to the target database and the slower the overall performance
If you increase the commit interval the number of times the Integration Service commits decreases and performance improvesWhen you increase the commit interval consider the log file limits in the target database If the commit interval is too high the Integration Service may fill the database log file and cause the session to failTherefore weigh the benefit of increasing the commit interval against the additional time you would spend recovering a failed session
105Which object canrsquot be used in Mapplet
a) Normalizerb) Lookupc) Expression
d) Reusable Sequence Generator
Ans A
106Function to create new row in Java Transformation
Ans generateRow()
When you call the generateRow method the Java transformation generates an output row using the current value of the output port variables If you want to generate multiple rows corresponding to an input row you can call the generateRow method more than once for each input row If you do not use the generateRow method in an active Java transformation the transformation does not generate output rows
You can add the generateRow method to the Java code on any code entry tab except the Import Packages and Java Expressions tabsYou can call the generateRow method in active transformations only If you call the generateRow method in a passive transformation the session generates an error
107How can we increase no of memory blocks to gain performance

The following example shows how to complete a lookup on the NAME and ADDRESS input ports in a Java transformation and assign the return value to the COMPANY_NAME output portEnter the following code on the On Input Row code entry tabCOMPANY_NAME = (String)invokeJExpression(lkpmy_lookup(X1X2) new Object [] str1 str2 )generateRow()
104How commit interval affects performancea) Largeb) Smallc) As per DB network pacaket sized) Commit interval not affects performance
Ans C (Not sure)
The smaller the commit interval the more often the Integration Service writes to the target database and the slower the overall performance
If you increase the commit interval the number of times the Integration Service commits decreases and performance improvesWhen you increase the commit interval consider the log file limits in the target database If the commit interval is too high the Integration Service may fill the database log file and cause the session to failTherefore weigh the benefit of increasing the commit interval against the additional time you would spend recovering a failed session
105Which object canrsquot be used in Mapplet

104How commit interval affects performancea) Largeb) Smallc) As per DB network pacaket sized) Commit interval not affects performance
Ans C (Not sure)
The smaller the commit interval the more often the Integration Service writes to the target database and the slower the overall performance
If you increase the commit interval the number of times the Integration Service commits decreases and performance improvesWhen you increase the commit interval consider the log file limits in the target database If the commit interval is too high the Integration Service may fill the database log file and cause the session to failTherefore weigh the benefit of increasing the commit interval against the additional time you would spend recovering a failed session

102SQL transformation always returns one row for each input row in which mode
a) IP Modeb) OP Modec) Query Moded) Script Mode
The SQL transformation runs in one of the following modes Script mode The SQL transformation runs ANSI SQL scripts that are externally located You pass a script name to the transformation with each input row The SQL transformation outputs one row for each input row Query mode The SQL transformation executes a query that you define in a query editor You can pass strings or parameters to the query to define dynamic queries or change the selection parameters You can output multiple rows when the query has a SELECT statement
103Is it possible to call Lookup from Java Transformation (YN)
Ans Yes
The following example shows how to complete a lookup on the NAME and ADDRESS input ports in a Java transformation and assign the return value to the COMPANY_NAME output portEnter the following code on the On Input Row code entry tabCOMPANY_NAME = (String)invokeJExpression(lkpmy_lookup(X1X2) new Object [] str1 str2 )generateRow()
104How commit interval affects performancea) Largeb) Smallc) As per DB network pacaket sized) Commit interval not affects performance
Ans C (Not sure)
The smaller the commit interval the more often the Integration Service writes to the target database and the slower the overall performance
If you increase the commit interval the number of times the Integration Service commits decreases and performance improvesWhen you increase the commit interval consider the log file limits in the target database If the commit interval is too high the Integration Service may fill the database log file and cause the session to failTherefore weigh the benefit of increasing the commit interval against the additional time you would spend recovering a failed session

102SQL transformation always returns one row for each input row in which mode
a) IP Modeb) OP Modec) Query Moded) Script Mode
The SQL transformation runs in one of the following modes Script mode The SQL transformation runs ANSI SQL scripts that are externally located You pass a script name to the transformation with each input row The SQL transformation outputs one row for each input row Query mode The SQL transformation executes a query that you define in a query editor You can pass strings or parameters to the query to define dynamic queries or change the selection parameters You can output multiple rows when the query has a SELECT statement
103Is it possible to call Lookup from Java Transformation (YN)
Ans Yes
The following example shows how to complete a lookup on the NAME and ADDRESS input ports in a Java transformation and assign the return value to the COMPANY_NAME output portEnter the following code on the On Input Row code entry tabCOMPANY_NAME = (String)invokeJExpression(lkpmy_lookup(X1X2) new Object [] str1 str2 )generateRow()
104How commit interval affects performancea) Largeb) Smallc) As per DB network pacaket sized) Commit interval not affects performance
Ans C (Not sure)
The smaller the commit interval the more often the Integration Service writes to the target database and the slower the overall performance
If you increase the commit interval the number of times the Integration Service commits decreases and performance improvesWhen you increase the commit interval consider the log file limits in the target database If the commit interval is too high the Integration Service may fill the database log file and cause the session to failTherefore weigh the benefit of increasing the commit interval against the additional time you would spend recovering a failed session
105Which object canrsquot be used in Mapplet

104How commit interval affects performancea) Largeb) Smallc) As per DB network pacaket sized) Commit interval not affects performance
Ans C (Not sure)
The smaller the commit interval the more often the Integration Service writes to the target database and the slower the overall performance
If you increase the commit interval the number of times the Integration Service commits decreases and performance improvesWhen you increase the commit interval consider the log file limits in the target database If the commit interval is too high the Integration Service may fill the database log file and cause the session to failTherefore weigh the benefit of increasing the commit interval against the additional time you would spend recovering a failed session
