# Transformation does not complete execution

If you are using the Hive 2/3 connector with both the Table Input step and the Table Output step in the same transformation, your transformation does not complete its execution.

To resolve this issue, split the original transformation into two new transforms where one contains the Table Input step and other contains the Table Output step. You can control the order of execution with a PDI job. If you try to use a child transformation to control the execution order, the same issue occurs.

See **Using Table input and Table output steps with AEL for managed tablles in Hive** in the **Pentaho Data Integration** document for further instructions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-configuration/tasks-to-be-performed-by-an-it-administrator/set-up-the-adaptive-execution-layer-ael/troubleshooting-ael-cp/errors-when-using-hive-and-ael-on-an-amazon-emr-cluster-ael-troubleshooting/transformation-does-not-complete-execution-hive-and-ael-on-emr-ael-troubleshooting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
