Pentaho writing to log but not text file

Question

I have a transformation that is successfully writing the first row to the log file. However the same transformation is not writing the first row to a text file. The text file remains blank.

Does anyone know why this may be?

edited - only focusing on the applications to run and set pm variable transformations, as the other transformations are replications of set pm variable but for different fields

can you please paste you mapping here, without looking into it its really hard to tell what is going wrong, — Explorer, Feb 21 '17 at 15:13

It looks like your Set Variables step is distributing its rows over the two follow-up steps in a round-robin way, which is the default setting in PDI.

Right-click the Set Variables step and under Data Movement, select Copy. That will send all rows to BOTH steps. You should see a documents icon on the hops then.

thanks, but still nothing is appearing in the text file output? – Karen Feb 21 '17 at 15:36
Does the file appear when you run the job and it's not present yet? Do headers get written? – Cyrus Feb 21 '17 at 15:49
