"Step is not expecting info from input steps." What does it indicate

[yogesh]

Hi all,

When I validate my transformation, I get the error saying that

"Step is not expecting info from input steps."

What does this error indicates? How can we debug it?

If you have a row generator and you would have an incoming hop to it e.g. it would probably give that error message

So on which step are you haveing the problem.

Hi Sven,

Thanx for the reply. Your replies are indeed proving of great value.

Table input step which is getting input from a table output step is giving such error.

LOL... you shouldn't put the horse behind the cart ;-)

table input generates output, it executes a query and transforms the output in rows for further processing. table output takes rows and updates a database. So you're using the steps "in the wrong way", the hop should go from table input to table output and not the other way around.
