multiple tAgregateRow and tMap components

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I'm using Talend 2.2.0 and i have 4 aggregate components i want the output of these four aggregate components to be sent to a tMap component. i want the first aggregate out put to be the main and the 3 others as lookup, the tMap component has to do a lookup on key fields in order to generate one output, this output contains my four measures (look the picture) -calculated by the aggregate components- and the key fields. Once i have this output i have to use an other tMap to do a lookup with the dimension tables already filled in and then the data will be loaded into the fact table.
My problem is that when i connect the first tAggregateRow component with the tMap component i cannot then connect the other tAggregateRow components to the tMap component. So what's the problem? is it possible to connect multiple tAggregateRow components to one tMap component??
Note: i was using TOS 2.1.2 and i had the same problem
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards
hamma

Hi

It's not the reason due to the component. In fact, Talend do not allow any cycle, see 1983

I find it more than a little amusing that the two threads explaining why you can't create circular references reference each other.
To continue the education of former Ab Initio developers (me), I wanted to know if Talend supports a concept of a phase break. My recollection of AI is that a phase break would be required before rejoining output from the first tMap split. Ab Initio lands the flows temporarily to disk and waits for all data to become available, then proceeds with the merge in the secondary phase. It seems that with Talend we're required to do this temp file landing chore ourselves, but the logic is the same. An intermediate file would be handy here, but we would still require some way to enforce a process blocking until completion.
