Keep the following notes in mind when building transformations with the Transformation Executor step:
  • This step does not abort when the calling transformation errors out. To control the flow or to abort the transformation in case of errors, please specify the fields and a target step in the Execution results tab to log the number of errors.
  • During the actual implementation, the log of the parent transformation contains only the last processed batch of data. This method lessens the strain on the back-end logging. You can obtain a detailed log of the child transformation by viewing the execution results. Be sure to define a target step within the Execution results tab and view the field name of the execution logging text, by default, ExecutionLogText.
