In a PDI transformation you are retrieving data from a large lookup table using a Database Lookup step from improve performance, you enable caching in the stepand use the Load all data from table option.
In this scenario, which three statement s are correct about the data flow of the ‘Database Lookup step? (Choose three.)
- A . When caching is enable, only rows with matching lookup values will passed through.
- B . There must be enough allocated heap space to store the lookup fields allocated heap space to store the lookup fields in memory.
- C . Cached comparisons are case sensitive.
- D . Every input row must have only one matching row in the lookup table
- E . Only one matching row is used from the Lookup table.
You need to design a PDI job that will execute a transformation andthen send an e-mail with an attached log of the transformation’s execution.
Which two sets of actions will accomplish this task? (Choose two.)

- B . In the Transformation entry option, select the ‘Specify logfile’ option and enter a name and extension for the file.
- C . In the log tab of job properties, configure the Log Connection and the Log table options for the Job entry log tablesection.
