tDie - Best practice

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I have a question about how to optimize the use of tDie in my project.

Is that a good thing to use a subjob and put the tDie inside ?

I see some avantages :

- you can format a message using context var, and so you have the same message in all you call to tDie ;

- you can change easily the priority for all your tDie (if you have a specific priority, then you can call directly your tDie) ;

- You can set the Error code you want in variable context ;

- And you can also do what you want when a tDie is called. For instance, you can send an email to inform about the fatal / error.

- You can easily change the option "Leave the JVM immediatly"

What do you think about it ?

Is that better to use directly the tDie in your jobs, or use them in a specific job called by the others ?

And same question for the tWarn.

Thank for your reply !

Hi,

     The best practice will be to use tDie using onSubJobError in same job. Please refer the below link containing Talend Best Practices for details.

But please note that different customers configure the tDie according to specific use case. If you have a specific use case where you would like to capture more details, you can go for a separate sub job also. But in my view, its an additional overhead.

If the answer has helped you, could you please mark the topic as resolved? Kudos are also welcome 🙂
