Ramu,

When you use the "<b>IF without ELSE</b>" function,

1. You get a defult value "<b>false</b>" in the dropdown box under "<b>ifWithouElse Properties</b>" (if you double click on "ifWithoutElse" function).

2. So if it is "<b>False</b>" then the example explained by me will work as it is.

3. But, even if you change the value to "<b>True</b>" it will give the same result.

I don't know why it gives the same result, but this is true.

Kindly check this and test in your mapping.

If you use ifwithout else ...This function asks you about true and false. if you give "true" it will SUPRESS node if value passed is true.same with false.

Hi Ramu,

Whenever you use if or if without else condintion, it checks for the condition which you want to validate during your mapping and supress the fault values.

So, the option "<b>true</b>" in <b>if</b> condition will act as in below example.

<b>Example:</b> if --> age <= 17 then Map to target

age = 20

age = 25

age = 12

age = 05

In this condition if age is less than or equal to 17 then only value will be passed otherwise it will be supressed. So the result will be

17

__________

__________----> supressed for value 20

__________----> supressed for value 25

12

__________

05

__________

I hope this will let you understand the concept.

Hi,

suppose my requirement is like .

check value of src with "SAP" otherwise dont generate the target node itself.

so i will do equalss constant "SAP" and apply this to if without else.

now based on result of if condition..true or false it will generate node....or SUPRESS that value.

so if i am passing SAP,123,GAP,DAP,SAP.....as source

it will give me

val,SUPRESS,SUPRESS,SUPRESS,val...in target queue.
