2)Passive

Active Transformation

An active transformation can change the number of rows that pass through the transformation, change the transaction boundary, can change the row type. For example, Filter, Transaction Control  are active transformations.

Passive Transformation

A passive transformation does not change the number of rows that pass through it, maintains the transaction boundary, and maintains the row type.For example Expression Transformation.


Transformations can be Connected or UnConnected to the data flow.
Connected Transformation 
Connected transformation is connected to other transformations or directly to target table in the mapping.
Passive Transformation 
An unconnected transformation is not connected to other transformations in the mapping. It is called within another transformation, and returns a value to that transformation.
