write an empty file after ETL finishes

anut — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 02:25:21 GMT

Hi,

My question is ,

If a ETL job finishes successfully, I want to write a empty text file to a location. This file will be used by downstream jobs to run.

I used toutpufiledelimited at the end of a job, but it doesn't let me connect "On Subjob Ok". I want to write the file only if the job before it completed successfully.

Can anyone help me with the best approach to do it.

Thanks,

Output components can't start a subjob.

You should use tFileTouch in such a case. This component is here for empty files creation.
