How to load the 5 highest salaried employee into the target without using rank transformation?

Solution:

 Here in my example I am taking the source as emp table from oracle scott schema.

 TABLE EMP

EMPNO	ENAME	JOB	MGR	HIREDATE	SAL	COMM	DEPTNO
7369	SMITH	CLERK	7902	12/17/1980 0:00	800		20
7499	ALLEN	SALESMAN	7698	2/20/1981 0:00	1600	300	30
7521	WARD	SALESMAN	7698	2/22/1981 0:00	1250	500	30
7566	JONES	MANAGER	7839	4/2/1981 0:00	2975		20
7654	MARTIN	SALESMAN	7698	9/28/1981 0:00	1250	1400	30
7698	BLAKE	MANAGER	7839	5/1/1981 0:00	2850		30
7782	CLARK	MANAGER	7839	6/9/1981 0:00	2450		10
7788	SCOTT	ANALYST	7566	12/9/1982 0:00	3000		20
7839	KING	PRESIDENT		11/17/1981 0:00	5000		10
7844	TURNER	SALESMAN	7698	9/8/1981 0:00	1500		30
7876	ADAMS	CLERK	7788	1/12/1983 0:00	1100		20
7900	JAMES	CLERK	7698	12/3/1981 0:00	950		30
7902	FORD	ANALYST	7566	12/3/1981 0:00	3000		20
7934	MILLER	CLERK	7782	1/23/1982 0:00	1300		10

TARGET

RANK	EMPNO	ENAME	JOB	MGR	HIREDATE	SAL	COMM	DEPTNO
1	7839	KING	PRESIDENT		11/17/1981	5000		10
2	7788	SCOTT	ANALYST	7566	12/9/1982	3000		20
2	7902	FORD	ANALYST	7566	12/3/1981	3000		20
3	7566	JONES	MANAGER	7839	4/2/1981	2975		20
4	7698	BLAKE	MANAGER	7839	5/1/1981	2850		30
5	7782	CLARK	MANAGER	7839	6/9/1981	2450		10

Algorithm
  1. Take the source
  2. Take a sorter and sort on SAL by descending order as

  3. Take an expression transformation
  4. Create the following ports with the formula
       check_v     = iif(SAL   !=   prev_sal_v,check_v +1, check_v)
       prev_sal_v  = SAL
       flag_o        = check_v
 

   
   5. Take a filter transformation
   6. Drag all the ports from the expression transformation into the filter transformation and give flag_o<=5  in the filter condition.
   7. Pass the ports into the target.

That's all.
The final mapping will look like

What about the 5 lowest salaried employees without using rank transformation?
