[RAJARP]

Hi,

The below job FTPs a file from the mainframe system to the Unix server and outputs the contents to a Complex Flat file which can be read in next job.

FTP enterprise stage --->Transfomer---->Complex flat file stage


On execution, the job aborts with the below fatal error

Code: Select all

CFF_Stg1: Error occurred during initializeFromArgs().
CFF_Stg1: Unrecognized argument: -readers
main_program: Creation of a step finished with status = FAILED.

where CFF_Stg1 is the target Complex flat file stage

These are the properties of the CFF target stage

Code: Select all
