Pentaho Data Integration: job keeps running even after Sucess step

Question

I have a simple job that collects data from one database and inserts in a table in another database. The job has a start step, transformation and success step.

Ideally the job would start, finish the transformation, mark job as success and then complete.

The issue I am facing is that the when the transformation is completed, it respawns. For testing purposes I am limiting number of rows to 500, the select and insert to db steps happen successfully but then go in a loop.

Attaching screenshots of the job and logs.

Log file (insert_to_wh.ktr is the transformation that keeps repeating):

Can someone point out why the transformation keeps on restarting and why the job doesn't end after the Success step?

Answer 1

I got it to work normally. I created a new job and recreated the same transformation and executed it. The job that I was executing was copied from another machine and probably that was the reason why the "Success" step wasn't being acknowledged. This post led me to this conclusion.
