Hi All,
We have got requirement to compare 2 datasets and generate reports for the mismatches/ detail records and counts.

And also we are trying to keep it generic for any file metadata.(to enable rcp later)

1. After passing thr diff stage, the below layout is achieved 2.to get the non match records and counts, we did horizontal pivot.
Custid, file1value, file2value, match
1, a, aa, n
1, x, x, y
2, b, b, y
2, x x, y

How to add the columnnames to above layout, so we can filter n records and group by column name to get the counts.
ie..
Custid, columnname, file1value, file2value, match
1, name, a, aa, n
1, address, x, x, y
2, name, b, b, y
2, address, x, x, y

The file has got 50+ columns.

Instead of pivot, are there any dynamic arrays that can be build and read the values form arrays ? Thanks

Dynamic array structures are natively supported in server jobs. I'd recommend looking at using an approach based on server jobs.

Where do you get the column names (name, address) from in your design?

You might also consider reducing the 50+ non-key columns to one using a Column Output stage, which generates a delimited string. You should then be easily able to compare those delimited strings to fulfil your requirement.

Thanks for the details.

The column names "name" and "address" are the file field names.File1_name and File2_name.

For the comparision part, even after using column export how to get the fieldnames?

how to get the field names over there without hardcoding to make it generic

custid, columnname , file1value,file2value, match
1, name ,a, aa, n
1, address,x, x, y
2, name,b, b, y
2, address,x x, y

so that later the report can be generated as

columname mismatch count
name 1
address 1

Thanks
