Destination Set Filter Transformer Step
Destination Set Filtering is a powerful feature of the source transformer that allows you to decide in advance which destinations to exclude from message processing. Using each individual destination's filter to control where a message goes is still a valid workflow, but when you have many destinations all with mutually exclusive filters, the performance of the channel can be affected because message data will be stored to the database for each destination connector. Also filtered connector messages can clutter up the message browser, making it harder to find what you are looking for. The advantage to using Destination Set Filtering in this case is that filtered destinations will not have any message data stored, and will not show up in the message browser. This can greatly increase message throughput.
