The following figure provides an overview of record filtering.
Figure 10-11 Overview of record filtering
Record filtering involves evaluating the input records against the information specified in the filter definition in the adaptor configuration definition file in order to determine the records that satisfy the specified conditions. The target records are selected and output based on the record format and field values in the records. For details about record filtering processing, see 10.4.2 Flow of data processing during record filtering.
