amy

Hi,

When I try to run my batch job i get below error.

|| ERROR || Encountered fatal error executing job
|| org..batch.core.job.AbstractJob:exe  cute:270org..batch.core.JobExecutio  nExecption: Flow execution ended unexpectedly
.
.
.
Caused by: org..batch.core.job.flow.FlowExecut  ionException: Next state not found in flow=abcJob for state=pbsFileTransformerMainStep with exit status=EXECUTING
.
.
.

My config file looks like:
lt;job id=quot;abcJobquot; restartable=quot;truequot;gt;

lt;step id=quot;fileTransferStep1quot;gt;  lt;tasklet ref=quot;fileTransferquot;/gt;    lt;next on=quotROCESS_ALLquot; to=quot;pbsFileTransformerMainStepquot; /gt;              lt;end on=quotROCESS_NONEquot; /gt;
lt;/stepgt;
lt;step id=quot;pbsFileTransformerMainStepquot;gt; lt;tasklet ref=quot;pbsFileTransformerquot;/gt; lt;next on=quotROCESS_NEXT_STEPSquot; to= quot;pbsControlFileValidatorMainStepquot; /gt;
lt;/stepgt;
lt;step id=quot;pbsControlFileValidatorMainStepquot;gt;lt;tasklet ref=quot;pbsControlFileValidatorquot;/gt;
lt;next on=quotROCESS_ERRORSquot; to=quot;processControlFileValidationErrorsMainStepquot; /gt; lt;next on=quotROCESS_ALLquot; to=quot;thirdPartyExceptCategoryCdMainStepquot; /gt;
lt;/stepgt;
lt;step id=quot;processControlFileValidationErrorsMainStepquot;gt;
lt;tasklet ref=quot;processControlFileValidationErrorsquot;/gt;
lt;next on=quotROCESS_NEXT_STEPSquot; to=quot;thirdPartyExceptCategoryCdMainStepquot; /gt;
lt;/stepgt;
...
lt;/jobgt;

Could anyone help me on this ?

Looking at your configuration, you have lt;next on= fort the status of 'EXECUTING'.  I can only speculate as to what you have set the status to, but you have three options:

1. Add a next *element* for the executing status
2. Add a next *attribute* to the step.  This will assume the next step should be executed if the step was successful.
3. Add a default next for any status that doesn't match what you were looking for.  I.e. lt;next on=* ....gt;
