Abort
The Abort step stops a transformation based on incoming rows. This step is commonly used for error handling—for example, to stop processing after Abort detects an error condition in the data.
Step name
Enter the following information in the transformation step field:
Step name: Specify the unique name of the Abort step on the canvas. You can customize the name or leave it as the default.
Options
The Abort step includes the following options:
Abort the running transformation
Stops the transformation when the Abort threshold is reached.
Abort and log as an error
Logs an error when the Abort step stops the transformation. This option is useful when a parent step (for example, the Kafka Consumer step) runs a sub-transformation containing the Abort step, and you want the parent step to stop.
Stop input processing
Stops the input steps to the transformation when the Abort threshold is reached, while allowing any rows already retrieved or initiated to finish processing.
Abort threshold
The number of rows to process before aborting after an error is detected. For example, if the threshold is 0, Abort stops the transformation after the first row is processed. If the threshold is 5, Abort stops the transformation after the sixth row is processed. The default value is 0.
Logging
The Abort step includes the following logging options:
Abort message
The log message to use when the transformation is aborted. If you leave this field blank, PDI uses a default message.
Always log rows
Logs every row processed by the Abort step so you can review the rows that caused the transformation to abort.
