tInfiniteLoop terminating after 1572683 iterations

_AnonymousUser — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 06:36:17 GMT

Hi All,
I am using the component tInfiniteLoop to iterate infinitely. But after 1572683 iterations the component is terminating.
I need the iterator to go on until I kill the job.
Why is it not counting beyond the number in question?
Appreciate any suggestions on this.
Thanks,
Jagadish.

Hi,
There is less info to diagnose your problem. The job design flow looks like? Is there any error message(exception)? The job is just hanging? How did you config tInfiniteLoop component(Wait at each iteration)?
Best regards
Sabrina

Hi,
We are also experiencing some issues with tInfiniteLoop it appears to hang after running for several days (Not sure of the iteration Number) not progressing the script, with the Java process still present in the background (Zombieing).
Note the are no Java exceptions or other clues as to what has happened here.
I'll update with the iteration number we get to and if we manage to solve the issue, or work around it.
Cheers Andy

Hi,I have also my program uising a tInfiniteLoop wich scanning a file, with the same ending mode. Java process still present, but nothing, no logs, no exception... My talend version is 6.5.1, so did you find a solution?

Thanks, Jeff.

Talend Jobs are not supposed to run for days on end. This is bad design. These jobs are more than likely failing due to memory issues. If you need a near to realtime solution (the only reason I can think of for having jobs looping over something for days), you need to be using the ESB product. An Apache Camel Route is far better suited to this requirement.

I have absolutely no idea why the tInfiniteLoop component is in the palette.
