The reject rows say for example due to unique key constrain is all pushed by session into the $PMBadFileDir (default relative path is <INFA_HOME/PowerCenter/server/infa_shared/BadFiles) which is configured with path at Integration Service level. Every Target will have property saying Reject filename which gives the file in which rejects rows are stored.

How to extract the number(0-9) from the string in informatica?

I want to extract the number(0-9) from the string. e.g.
1.if src is *J$456*&56 then tgt should be 45656
2.if src is &*(>123>>789&^ then tgt should be 123789

This is just an example, special characters or alphabets are random in string, so how to extract only numbers?

Informatica writes rejected rows into a bad file, how to avoid that?

I have developed an Informatica PowerDesigner 9.1 ETL Job which uses lookup and an update transform to detect if the target table has the the incoming rows from the source or not. I have set for the Update transform a condition

IIF(ISNULL(target_table_surrogate_id), DD_INSERT, DD_REJECT)

Now, when the incoming row is already in the target table, the row is rejected. Informatica writes these rejected rows into a .bad file. How to prevent this? Is there a way to determine that the rejected rows are not written into a .bad file? Or should I use e.g. a router insted of an update transform to determine if the row is insert row an then discard the other rows?
