How to abort job with the condition in the Transformer

[karthikdsexchange]

"How to abort DS job when the condition in Transformer stage is not met".

When I execute the job I want to pass in a number parameter ie. 100 and then to check if that number matches with the input file count in the job. If it does, I want the job to continue otherwise to abort?

Can you perform the check in a sequence before you start the job?

Or you could perform the row count and pass the row count value to a lookup which is feeding the parameter value and set the lookup to 'Fail' if the lookup value is not found.

Don't do it in the Transformer stage. Do it in a before-job subroutine (after all you only need to check once). Set ErrorCode to a non-zero value to abort the job. Or handle it in a sequence before even running the job, as suggested.
