tMap as lookup in tMap

[yoxler]

Hi,

I'm processing a messy file and I need to split columns in severals steps and in a step I want an output from tMap as a lookup in an another tMap.

Do I need to put the output of the tMap in a file and then use it as lookup in the other tMap or is there any other way because I have no need to have it in a file. 

Any help appreciated.

Some screenshots could help, but it should be possible to have a tMap as lookup input. What's the issue you are experiencing?

Usual usecase.
No problem to have a tMap as a lookup for another tMap.

Attached file.

I'm trying connect custWithT1 to newId but Studio wont have it. 

The crossed over circle is also there, however not visible when doing the screen shot. Just as you get when the components are not compatible.

The job capture is partial but it seems you want join 2 flows issued from a previous tMap. This is not possible to do that in the subjob where they have been separated. You need to store intermediate result in a tHashOutput or a file, then reuse them in the next subjob.

Yeah I wanted to join the two flows without having to create a file. 

I wanted to skip the create file part. I will try the tHashOutput, thanks!
