Transaction Control Transformation in Informatica

Informatica Power Centre allows us to control the roll back and commit on transaction based on set of rows that passes through the Transaction Control transformation. This allows to define your transaction whether it should be committed or rollback based on the rows that pass through ,such as based on the Entry Date or some other column.We can control this transaction either at the Mapping level or Session level.
 

1)Mapping Level:
Inside the mapping we will be using Transaction Control transformation. And inside this transformation we have an expression. Based on the return value of this expression we decide whether we have to commit, roll back, or continue without any transaction changes.The transaction control expression uses the IIF function to test each row against the condition.
Use the following syntax for the expression:
IIF (condition, value1, value2)
Use the following built-in variables in the Expression Editor when you create a transaction control expression:
Expression
Description
TC_CONTINUE_TRANSACTION
The Integration Service does not perform any transaction change for this row. This is the default value of the expression.
TC_COMMIT_BEFORE
The Integration Service commits the transaction, begins a new transaction, and writes the current row to the target. The current row is in the new transaction.
TC_COMMIT_AFTER
The Integration Service writes the current row to the target, commits the transaction, and begins a new transaction. The current row is in the committed transaction.
TC_ROLLBACK_BEFORE
 The Integration Service rolls back the current transaction, begins a new transaction, and writes the current row to the target. The current row is in the new transaction.
TC_ROLLBACK_AFTER
The Integration Service writes the current row to the target, rolls back the transaction, and begins a new transaction. The current row is in the rolled back transaction

2)Session Level:
When we run a session the Integration Service checks the expression ,and when it finds a commit row  then it commits all rows in transaction to the target table. When the Integration Service evaluates a rollback row, it rolls back all rows in the transaction from the target or targets.
Also  we can do user defined commit here in case Integration services fails to do so.
