Component "ERROR_MESSAGE" is not populated when "Die on error" is disabled - How to capture errors and continue iteration?

[deisou]

Hi there,

I am developing a Talend workflow in a single job and I am having trouble meeting my requirements. The scenario is a follows:

1. Loop through a folder of JSON files to be processed
2. Parse each file using tFileInputJSON
3. On component failure in the tFileInputJSON for any file, take the error message and append it to the JSON file and archive it
4. Continue to the next file

The problem is if I use "Die on error", the iteration is disrupted and the remaining files do not get processed until next time I run the job.

I have tried capturing the "ERROR_MESSAGE" but it is NULL when "Die on error" is disabled.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

@David Deisou​ , you have enable to die on error in the component level then only you can capture the error_message.

That's unfortunate. The idea is to be able to handle any errors, and continue the iteration.

The use of another wrapper job calling a tRunJob component could be a work-around to implement this requirement.
