Hi,

How can I abort a job inside a transformer?

Shall I can use UtilityAbortToLog routine to stop the job?

Hi,
The only clean option available is to use the constraints "Abort after n rows"
But aborting via transformer it self is not a clean option

What do u mean by aborting a Job. There needs some logical reason for stopping the Job.

Pls describe the requirement ....

You should never need to abort jobs.

Create jobs that never abort or generate warnings, control them through job sequences. Communicate to the job sequence via exit status (warnings will be genuine warnings), routines (for example row count from rejects link), files and/or jobs' user status areas.
