Generate Don't empty file

_AnonymousUser — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 09:08:45 GMT

Hello,

I'm doing a load file by tFileOutputDelimited component. I do not want an empty file is generated. To do this, I have marked the option Generate Don't empty file. When there is no information to load and execute the process generates a file with me 0Kb. This causes me many problems. Is there any way to fix it?

Thank you very much.
Greetings.

There is no error. The problem is that generates a vacuum 0Kb file when it should not generate anything.

All work as expected,
when "Don't generate empty files" checked - no files will be created
if not - need more information, version, Job screenshots, settings and etc

In the tmap1 you can see, I have filters to generate files if the conditions are met. Still, although the conditions are not met, the empty file is generated with the check marked.

I just can confirm - I do absolutely the same
no files in output folder
only one idea - I was long time ago have problem, when Talend can not delete files under windows, but it was return error
check Java version, test on other machine

I have similar job using tMap to create files based on a condition.

Only one out of many files need to be created at a time. Rest will be empty so should be deleted. So i tick the On Empty Delete option.

After running this job, When I check the folder, all the files were showing, but when I refreshed the file explorer, all 0 byte files were gone. So try refreshing once.

Secondly, If I copy the files with tFileCopy to another location before the job ends, these 0 byte files will not be deleted from destination.

So, in such case make sure to copy files only after tPostJob, so that all the tMap flows are processed first and then files are deleted at source if they are 0 byte, then when job ends(tPostJob) it copies files at your destination.

Hi , Kumal

You have to go to the advanced settings TAb of the tFileOutputDelimited component.

Send me Love and Kudos
