Link Collector with no output link
Posted: Fri May 20, 2005 5:27 am
I was working on a job with a Link Collector and Link Partitioner.
I always copy and paste links in order to try and save some time.
When I joined the copied link to my target sequential file, I linked it backwards
Resulting in the target sequential file being part of the inputs to the Link Collector and no output link from the Link Collector.
I was able to compile and run the job like this. I only realized that something was wrong when I got mutex errors.
After trying several things, I realized that my Link Collector did not have an output link.
Shouldn't the compiler pick this up? When you do the same thing with a transformer, the compiler tells you that the transformer has no output links. Am I missing something?
