Union

The Union transformer is an object that merges data. Each object has several inputs and a single output. All providers should have unique indexes, number and field types determined. The specified attributes should be identical for all providers. Duplicate records are not allowed (duplicates must be deleted beforehand).

The following conditions ensure effective performance of this algorithm:

When the Union transformer is used from the tables:

Key Date Value
1 Winter 2222
2 Winter 4444
3 Winter 6666

and:

Key Date Value
4 Summer 1111
5 Summer 3333
6 Summer 5555

 it can be converted to the following table:

Key Date Value
4 Summer 1111
1 Winter 2222
5 Summer 3333
2 Winter 4444
6 Summer 5555
3 Winter 6666

Basic Properties

The basic properties are used to set object name, identifier and comment.

Editing Inputs

To determine a list of transformer inputs and a list of fields for each input, use the Edit Inputs page.

The Inputs and Their Links section contains a list of all inputs and their links of transformer object.

Available operations for inputs:

Add an input

Edit input

Duplicate input

Delete input

The Input Fields section contains a list of fields and their parameters of object provider or object consumer:

Available operations for input fields:

Add a field

Edit field

Delete field

Autofill fields

Edit Output

The Edit Output page enables the user to set links to the consumer object, to which data on executing ETL tasks is loaded.

NOTE. The page is common to all data connectors and transformers, except for the Split and User Algorithm transformers. Consider setting up a list of fields and output links using the example of the Repository data source editing wizard.

The following settings are available on the page:

Identifier

Link to object

Fields

Edit Outputs with Error Records

The Edit Outputs with Error Records page is used to set links to consumer objects, to which information about error records skipped by the transformer is exported:

The following settings are available on the page:

Outputs and their links

Fields

Advanced settings

Union

The Union page is used to create a link between input and output fields.

Field connections should be established for each field of the Union object:
