Setting the Malformed Records Default

A malformed record is an input record that Spectrumâ„¢ Technology Platform cannot parse. By default, if the input data for a job contains one malformed record, the job will terminate. You can change this setting to allow more malformed input records, or even allow an unlimited number of malformed records. This procedure describes how to set a default malformed record threshold for jobs on your system.

Note: You can override the default malformed record threshold for a job by opening the job in Enterprise Designer and going to Edit > Job Options.
  1. Open Management Console.
  2. Go to Flows > Defaults.
  3. Click Malformed Records.
  4. Select one of the following:
    Terminate jobs containing this many malformed records
    Select this option to terminate jobs if the input data contains one or more malformed records. Enter the number of malformed records that you want to trigger the termination of the job. The default is 1.
    Do not terminate flows with malformed records
    Select this option to allow an unlimited number of malformed records in the input data.
