Informatica Interview Questions on Sequence Generator

Transformation
1. What is a sequence generator transformation?
A Sequence generator transformation generates numeric values. Sequence generator
transformation is a passive transformation.
2. What is the use of a sequence generator transformation?
A sequence generator is used to create unique primary key values, replace missing primary
key values or cycle through a sequential range of numbers.
3. What are the ports in sequence generator transformation?
A sequence generator contains two output ports. They are CURRVAL and NEXTVAL.
4. What is the maximum number of sequence that a sequence generator can generate?
The maximum value is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
5. When you connect both the NEXTVAL and CURRVAL ports to a target, what will be the
output values of these ports?
The output values are
NEXTVAL CURRVAL
1
2
2
3
3
4
4
5
5
6
6. What will be the output value, if you connect only CURRVAL to the target without
connecting NEXTVAL?
The integration service passes a constant value for each row.
7. What will be the value of CURRVAL in a sequence generator transformation?
CURRVAL is the sum of "NEXTVAL" and "Increment By" Value.
8. What is the number of cached values set to default for a sequence generator
transformation?
For non-reusable sequence generators, the number of cached values is set to zero.
For reusable sequence generators, the number of cached values is set to 1000.
9. How do you configure a sequence generator transformation?

The following properties need to be configured for a sequence generator transformation:

Start Value

Increment By

End Value

Current Value

Cycle

Number of Cached Values
