Terminate Data Resource with failure message

[guptasanjay]

Hi Community Members,

I’m working with a Data Resource of type Transform, where mutating is set to true (so it doesn’t return a value). I have a use case where I need to run a script via this Data Resource to validate certain fields and update records accordingly.

Here’s the scenario:

• If all required fields are filled in, the record should be updated.
• If any required field is missing, I want to terminate the Data Resource execution and trigger a failure event, which I can then use to display an appropriate error message.

Is there a recommended way to gracefully terminate the Data Resource in such cases and map it to a failure event?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Sanjay Kumar

@guptasanjay ,

1. Use actionResponse.setError("message") → it stops execution and shows the error in Test Load 

(Inside the Server Script function signature)

Hi Shashank,
The above didn't work.
But we found a solution.

return new Error("Validation failed");
//This would terminate the script broker execution and we can configure the failure event for the data resource

Thanks,
Sanjay
