Informatica workflow fails on failure of command task with UNCHECKED fail parent if task fails property

I have a command task to call a batch file which returns 1 if File.Ok does not exists and 0 if File.Ok exists in a particular location. Following this command task I have 2 links:

link 1: $commandtask.status = succeeded

link 2: $commandtask.status = failed

After each of these links there are several session and other tasks.

PROBLEM: Whenever File.OK is not found, Link 2 is executed followed by tasks/sessions of this branch (as desired and expected) but after executing all remaining items the workflow gets failed.

note: I have not checked 'Fail Parent if task fails' property anywhere.

Solution

  • You might have checked the "Fail parent if task does not run" in some task. If the task with this property checked does not run then it fails the workflow.
