Router transformation is single input to multiple output group transformation. Routers can be used in place of multiple Filter transformations. Router transformations accept the data through an input group once, and based on the output groups you define, it sends the data to multiple output ports. You need to define the filter condition in each output group.

A mapping using the Router transformation where we wish to load all records from LOCATION as INDIA in one target, records from UK in another target, and all other nonmatching records in the third target, is indicated in the following screenshot:

When you drag the columns to the router, the Router transformation creates an input group with only input ports and no output port. To add the output groups, click on the Groups tab and add two new groups. Enter the name of each group under the group name and define the filter condition for each group. Click on OK to create the output groups in the Router transformation...
