Inserting a data split

Chapter 8 Building Data Transformation Diagrams

Inserting a data split

A data split duplicates a simple input data flow into two or more identical output data flows.

To insert a data split:

Select the Data Split tool in the palette, and create the action in the diagram.

Select the Data Flow tool, and draw a flow from the preceding step (a data input or action) to the data split to initialize it with the incoming data structure columns.

Click OK to save your changes and return to the diagram.

Automatically inserting/removing a split
When a data input or an action has more than one output flow, you can right-click the data input or action, and select Insert Split. This automatically creates a data split after the data input or action. Conversely, you can select Remove Split to display each output flow instead of the data split.
