This tutorial shows dynamic lookup in Advanced ETL Processor. Use it when a transformation needs to find related values during processing instead of relying on fixed, hard-coded mappings.

What You Will Learn

  • Understand where dynamic lookup fits in a transformation.
  • Match incoming data against lookup data.
  • Use lookup results in downstream transformation logic.
  • Avoid hard-coded values when the reference data changes.

Before You Start

Prepare the source data and the lookup data first. A lookup without reference data is just a very confident blank stare.
