Hi
What is your validate rules? Would you like to reject the record and don't insert it into database if the email address is invalid?

Hi shong!!
yes, if the email address is not valid,it should be rejected and should not process it further..
my job has a fileinputdelimited--tmap--tschemacheck--the main job.
the email should be rejected before the main job if it is invalid.
Thanks in advance.

Shong!
I did create a routine function and tried to use it..
code is,
public static boolean isEmailValid(String email) {

boolean b = Pattern.matches("^+@+\\.+$", email);

return b;
}
and in tmap i added the check in emailaddress column..
(row22.emailaddress!=null) ? routines.CollectionUtils.isEmailValid(row22.emailaddress) : null
but since my emailaddress column is string and the routine code is in boolean it doesnt seem to work..
can u tell me where am missing???
Thanks a lot

Hi
On the output table, add a new field, let's call it isValid, boolean type, set the expression as:
(row22.emailaddress!=null) ? routines.CollectionUtils.isEmailValid(row22.emailaddress) : false
link the tMap to another tMap component, split the flow to two output tables, one for valid rows and another for invalid rows, add a filter expression on both of output tables,
for valid rows:
row23.isValid==true
for invalid rows:
row23.isValid==false
