Deleting duplicate row using Informatica

Q1. Suppose we have Duplicate records in Source System and we want to load only the unique records in the Target
System eliminating the duplicate rows. What will be the approach?
Ans.
Let us assume that the source system is a Relational Database . The source table is having duplicate rows. Now to
eliminate duplicate records, we can check the Distinct option of the Source Qualifier of the source table and load the
target accordingly.
