Are you performing any calculation at transforming level???

no i am just adding a new column in the transformer which is used in the next stage that is look up as a look up key.

If you are not having too much data can you please check if there is any duplicate record coming after joining two files???if yes! and you are not handing that using remove duplicate stage then the problem can be this one.

Does the Transformer stage have a constraint on the output link that might explain fewer rows being emitted than consumed?

The second error message suggests that the stage did not read its input right through to the end. Are there any other warnings/errors in the job log?

Break the job up to identify where the problem really is. Lose everything downstream of the Change Capture stage, and direct its output to a Peek or Sequential File stage. What happens then? If that's OK, add one more stage type into the processing, and try again. And so on.
