I've DI job which loads data to the physical table via SCD type-2 transformation. When I ran the job I received an error like

 

"WARNING: Add/Update failed for data set INS.EMPLOYEE because data value(s) do not comply with integrity constraint PRIM_KEY. (Occurred 38 times.) NOTE: There were 38 observations read from the data set WORK.ETLS_MATCH.
NOTE: 0 observations added." 

 

Business key for my job is "Employee_ID" and there is no duplicates on Employee_ID and generated key is "Employee_RK". Could someone you help me understand the likely cause for this issue?

Doesn’t this mean the records you’re trying to insert, the 38 employee IDs, are already in the table?

First: what is the definition of PRIM_KEY?
Next execute the job with SCD 2 Loader in debug mode, do that you can access the ETLS_MATCH table after execution.

Could you please help me understand to know how to execute the SCD
transformation with debug mode?

@Babloo

The primary key on your target table is {Employee_RK, <Valid_From_Dttm>}? Right?

And the Valid_From_Dttm column (or however you call it) contains a SAS Datetime value?

You need to set the macro variable ETLS_DEBUG to something else than 0. Try that in the pre processing for the job, or add it manually in the generated code.
One option is to set this as default in your server definition. See here for more info:
