As we pass data through an integration process, we may often wish to filter it in some way. Data from source systems may be fine in terms of its format, but its content scope may be too broad for the receiving systems. For example, suppose we have an export of data from our financial system of all invoices due to our customers and we wish to send a list of the invoices to each customer; we wouldn't send the full list to all customers, but rather send a filtered list to each customer of only their own invoices.
We have seen in previous examples that the tMap component has filtering capabilities but the Studio provides a dedicated filtering component with some extra features for fine control (when there is no requirement for data mapping). We will look at three examples of how to use the filter component in your integration jobs:
A straightforward filter
The same filter, but also capturing the rejected records
Finally, how to split a file based on filters
