Switch flow

[Robbie]

Ha guy is it possible in switch to make 3 way option (stoplight idea). where if the file is ok (green) it will pass to the next foider, and when there is warning ore fault to (orange and red) the file will stop and hold until the operator gives the ok in the dashboard?

Yes, you can use a Checkpoint for this.

I put in the checkpoint. only thing is that it does noit give me the report off pitstop server so i can see what the problem is with the job.

1. In the Preflight output connection "Carry this type of jobs" you choose 'Data with log'.
2. In the Checkpoint you set "Enable report viewing" to Yes.

Hi Robbie,

In the Pitstop component, please ensure that you configure an outgoing connection of type "Data + Log". It's important to assign a unique and meaningful name to the log. By default, it is simply named "log", which could lead to conflicts if that name is already in use (potentially overriding existing one). We recommend using a distinctive name such as "Preflight Report" to avoid any potential overrides.

Next, in the Checkpoint component, make sure the "Enable report viewing" option is set to Yes, and that the "Report dataset name" matches the name you've assigned to your report. Once this is configured correctly, you’ll be able to access the "Show Report" prompt once clicking on the job card.

If this final step isn’t completed in the Checkpoint, the report should still be visible under the "External Metadata" tab among other report (and can be confusing)

Additionally, you may consider setting up an XML report in Pitstop. This allows error and warning values to be displayed directly within the Checkpoint fields, offering a more detailed view.
