Load both files into a table. Use one table as input for a data flow. Use the other table as the comparison table in a Table_Comparison transform. Make sure to detect deleted rows.

Add a Map_Operation transform to map all row types back to normal. Write the output to a 3rd table. That will contain the difference between your 2 csv files.

Hi,

What is the purpose of this test? Are you intending to compare the data output? If so you can compare the data in the tables that you are using to load the files.

if however you are intending to compare the files for a different reasonm load these files in MS-Access and compare them independent of BODS.

kind regards

Raghu

Hello Uhdam,

do you talk about a data services solution or a general solution, because you mention Office 2007?

If you need a general solution you could use almost every text editor (NOT standard windows notepad ). For example you could use notepad++ and install the "compare" add-on.

If you search a data services solution you could use the table_comparison, but the dataflow depends on your expected result set.

Hi,

May be it will help you,

Create a job, Take the data into table from file, and use table_comparion transform.
