Hi, I have requirement where we need to process multiple files(say 100) on a daily basis. The mapping is a simple one-to-one i.e. 100 target tables for 100 files.

If the file name remains the same, then you can use gunzip command in Before Subroutine. This will automatically take care of the requirement.

Lookup stage is normally used when the reference data is small(Normal Lookup) or the source data is small(Sparse Lookup). In your case neither the source nor the refernce input is small.

Also whenever your data contains junk value and if its length is greater than the column datatype, you will get the above said error. The only solution for this sort of error is to ...
