Hi, thanks for reading.

We have a job that uses a shared container. A transformer sends data to the shared container only when the constraint is meet. However, even when zero records are sent from the transformer down the link to the shared container...the shared container still executes. Anyone know why or how to fix?

There is nothing to fix: All stages in a job will execute when the job runs. At the very least they will execute initialization and end of job routines, and wait in their processing routine for data to arrive. This is the way the parallel engine is designed to operate.

Regards,
