tSystem always executes successfully

[Frederic2]

Hi all,

I'm trying to design a job which executes a simple command using tSystem. I've tested running this local without any issues but when I run it from Talend Cloud, the job always returns success, even when I specifically execute a bogus command.

tSystem_1 - The command has been executed successfully.

tSystem_1 - Command to execute: '/bin/bash -c 7'.

Any idea what could be going on?

Thanks

When you tried to run tsystem component that it will execute on virtual server of Talend cloud. Which could be aws server.

I'm not exactly following what you're saying but I'm deploying the job to Talend Cloud and executing the job on a remote engine installed on an EC2 instance.

The job runs fine but the actual command somehow reports success even when it's a completely invalid command.

Has anyone else seen this?

Try to use tSystem_x_error_output ( not exact name) global variable to check result of tsystem and work accordingly

I ended up having to use a tDie with a Runif checking the output ((Integer)globalMap.get("tSystem_1_EXIT_VALUE")) != 0

Thanks!
