Conditional Split is one of the most commonly used transforms in any SSIS Package development routine. The limitation with conditional split is that any record that satisfies the first condition from the conditions list is routed to its corresponding path exclusively. In a logical sense, a record might satisfy more than one condition and one might want the record to be routed to all paths for processing, but with the Conditional Split transform this is not possible. We need a more intelligent conditional split where we can selectively route the records to more than one output path. In this tip we will look at how to facilitate this intelligent conditional split.
