Skip a component based on condition in Talend

Question

I have a scenario where I would like to skip a component to execute based on the condition and run its consecutive components in Talend.

Is it at all possible?

Answer 1

I've mocked up a job for you:

I have a context variable called: startFrom It can be accessed with context.startFrom

I've placed a tJava with a few tWarns:

I use 4 context settings:

1. Default
2. Normal
3. Opt
4. two

So my Job:

1. Does nothing
2. Start from "Start"
3. Start from "Optional_Start"
4. Start from "RecoverFromHere"

If settings are the following:

context.startFrom.equals("opt")

Recovery and Recovery1 prints out their names using System.out

If I start my job I can select where I want to start it. If I don't select anything: context value is null, it won't do anything.
