lookups? in what scenarios should we use

both?


also please let me know when to use dynamic lookup cache?

and static lookup cache?

Connected lookup tranformation gets the input directly from the mapping pipeline, where as unconnected lookup transformation gets the input from another expression transaction.

the differences between connected and unconned lookups are as follows:
Connected lookup:- 1. Receives input values directly from the pipe line.
2. You can use a dynamic or static cache.
3. Cache includes all lookup columns used in the mapping.
4. Support user defined default values.
Unconnected lookup:-
1. Receives input values from the result of an lkp expression in another transformation.
2. You can use a static cache.
3. Cache includes all lookup out put ports in the lookup condition and the lookup/return port.
4. Does not support user defined default values.

the main advantages of the unconnected lookup is if suppose u can use the same lkp transformations 2 or more times in a same mapping its waste of time. in that situations, we can create unconnected lkp transformation and call that expression wherever u want.
