tJavaRow - how to exit job but run tPostJob?

mr_burns — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 22:12:24 GMT

Hi,

this is a part of my job:

tJavaRow_1 should end/quit the job if a certain condition is met.

I tried using:

if (whatEverCondition == true)

System.exit(1);

Basically this is working but the problem is that tPostjob_1 is not executed anymore and so the end time of the job is not written to DB anymore.

Please note:

I cannot use a tDie component because this will cause an exception which is caught by my tLogCatcher what I don't want since no execption takes place just a condition to end the job.

I also cannot deactivate 'Catch tDie' in tLogCatcher basic settings since I have other tDie components in my job which need to be caught by tLogCatcher.

Basically I need a tQuit or tEnd component 😉.

How can I quit a job using Java code (inside tJavaRow_1) but still run tPostJob_1?

Thanks for any help!

System.exit(1) is not the best way to safely end a job on a condition having been met to end it. Can you explain what the condition is and why you need to do this?

Have you tried to use:

return;

That should quit from the actualy function. But postjob should still execute.

One can use continue; to skip the components on the "right" side of the flow for the entry.

Great idea! I hadn't thought of attempting this.
