Command tasks - returning errors 1

[bsellick]

Am making use of command tasks in a workflow to run shell scripts in AIX/Korn shell.

I'm not much of a korn shell expert but have found sample code that tests the last run command status ($?). If not zero then I've coded "exit 1".

In testing this, I see in UNIX that the return code is 1; however, it appears that the command task in the workflow does not see an unsuccessful return value - it always succeeds.

Anyone have this experience and get around it?

Informatica install is v7.1/AIX

Thanks,

You need to set the command object to fail if the command script fails. See the fail if previous checkbox (or something like that) on the main tab, I think (it's been awhile). This will cause the workflow to fail if it's checked and the command fails. Note: the default for sessions, etc. is not to fail the workflow.
