Job aborted when no file found

[meriem_ens]

Hi,

I have a parallel job consisting of a sequentiel file stage reading from a unix filesystem.


The sequentiel file stage uses the file pattern read method and a wildcard in the file pattern. The job runs perfectly as long as there are files that matches this pattern on the unix box. The problem I'm having is when there is no file that matches this pattern the job gets aborted when it should only gives a warning and continue with the etl process.

I wonder if there is a way to change this behavior (from aborted to finished with warnings).

Thanks.

Data Stage version 7.5.3
HP-UX 11.23

No. You have to check for files matching the pattern outside the actual job in a sequence (WaitForFile-activity or Unix-command).

Please set the "Missing File Mode"="OK" under File Properties->Options

Hi,

I can't find this option when I'm using the file pattern option

Hi, I had hoped of a less cumbersome way

thank you

perhaps a before job routine, to create an empty file, if file not found

this would also be cumbersome..................
