Update Strategy Transformation in Informatica

The update strategy transformation in Informatica is used to insert, update, and delete records in a target table. It can flag rows for insert, update, delete, or reject without modifying the target. The transformation is often used with lookup transformations to determine if a row already exists and needs updating. It can also be placed before aggregator transformations to influence how aggregates are calculated based on the flag. The transformation requires a primary key on the target table in order to function properly.
