No. You have to design that piece, perhaps by looking for the explicit column header values (since your columns are all defined as sufficiently large VarChar to handle the column headings, no row will be rejected).

Welcome aboard. First of all, it's a sequence, not a sequencer. A sequencer is a component that you might use within a sequence. The simplest approach is to have the job that performs validation generate a warning when a problem is found. The sequence can detect this via the $JobStatus activity vari...

Welcome aboard.

The simple answer is that you capture the requisite information - typically in a Transformer stage (since you have specified server job type) - and direct the reject rows and/or diagnostic information into Sequential File stages.

When reading from a Data Set in a grid environment, a virtual and read-only Data Set is constructed using the nodes that were used when the Data Set is written. That information is stored in the Data Set descriptor file and can therefore be re-used when reading from the Data Set. There is also an op...

It's already in the Transformer. RT_BP1116/JOB.2013283459.DT.1533610691.TRANS13 is a file containing the code generated by compiling a Transformer - as to which Transformer stage it is, you will need to examine the generated code, which will contain a comment that includes the stage name.

Be more specific about what "not working" means. I have no problem with it. Tell us what your property settings are, what output you expect to get, what the file names actually are, and what output you are actually getting.

You don't need File Pattern to read one file. (The file name could be a job parameter.) However, it will work to use File Pattern, provided that the pattern matches one or more file names. It would appear that your pattern does not (or lacks a directory component to the path). Please advise the prec...
