Hi ,

My requirement is I am getting 3 source files with same meta data and I have to design one job in that I have to load these files one after the other.In the Target table I have to append the Seconefile Data to the first file and so on..

While reading the first file if i encounters any problem then I have to read from the second file and so on..

Funnel the three files in the order you wish, by choosing the funnel option as Sequence, so that the data from the first file is done first, followed by second, and then the third. Between the file and funnel, you can have a transformer so that any errors in the files are bypassed...Hope this is what you look for and it helps.

You can also go for a single sequential file stage as source. make the job multiple instance and run each instance with the three source files one after the other.

Designing one job and as noted calling it as multiple instance thrice will be the best option. If you try to read all the files in one job and if one of the file is having any problem in reading then your whole job will fail, which you do not want to happen.

then you clearify your requirement,
if the 1st file is loaded halfway, will you rollback the data from this file, or you will continue with next file.

if you want to continue then you can do it in a single job,
