Hi Raj,

In answer to your question:
"I am using RapidMinor for Document Similarity .after getting output similarity ,I found that it has replaced ID given by me by its own ids . How to avoid this."
https://www.linkedin.com/groups/How-avoid-replace-Id-rapidminor-4025645.S.5981787877623816192

I am assuming that you are using the data to similarity operator and want to get your own IDs back. 
Here's an example using the Iris dataset that you can look at.  One way to do it is to give your original ID a new role (a pseudo-role) and name, then (after the similarity is an example set), join the datasets together twice (once on FIRST_ID and then again on SECOND_ID) and keep only your old ID after you have made each join. 
Paste the XML code below into the XML view in RapidMiner and then follow it through to get a better idea of how the pseudo-role works.
