3.1.8.3 Error Tab

The Error tab contains configurations related to error handling of the workflow. Since the batch concept does not exist for real-time workflows, batch related options in the tab are only valid for batch workflows.

The Error tab


ItemDescription

Abort Immediately

If enabled, the workflow immediately aborts on the first Cancel Batch message from any agent in the workflow. The erroneous data batch is kept in its original place and must be moved/deleted manually before the workflow can be started again.

Abort After X Consecutive Cancel Batch

If enabled, the value of X indicates the number of allowed Cancel Batch calls, from any agent in a workflow before the workflow will be aborted. The counter is reset between each successfully processed data batch. Thus, if 5 is entered, the workflow will abort on the 6th data batch in a row that is reported erroneous. All erroneous files, but the first one, are removed from the stream and placed in ECS.

Never Abort

The workflow will never abort. However, as with the other error handling options, the System Log is always updated for each Cancel Batch message, and files are sent to ECS.

ECS Batch Error UDR

A UDR that contains information on selected MIMs can be associated with the batch. This is useful when reprocessing a batch from ECS, the fields of the Error UDR will appear as MIMs in the collecting workflow.

The batch UDR may be populated from Analysis or Aggregation agents as well. This is useful if you want to enter other values than MIMs.

The ECS Batch Error UDR section will be grayed out until one of the Abort After X Consecutive Cancel Batch or Never Abort alternatives is selected.


ItemDescription

Error Code

Drop-down list where an error code that has been defined in the Error Correction System Inspector can be selected.

Error UDR Type

The error UDR to be associated with the batch. The appropriate format can be selected from the UDR Internal Format Browser dialog opened by selecting the browser button.

The columns UDR Field and MIM Resource are populated depending on the selected UDR type.

UDR Field

A list of all the fields available for the selected Error UDR Type.

MIM Resource

The MIM Resource column is populated by clicking (Map to MIM...). The preferred MIM to map to the Error UDR Type fields can then be selected from the MIM Browser dialog.

Logged MIMs

The column Error MIMs holds information on what MIM resources to be logged in the System Log when the workflow aborts or sends UDRs and batches to ECS. These values may also be viewed from ECS (the MIM column).

The most relevant resources to select are things that identify the data batch, such as the source filename, if available.

Note that this is only a short summary of the functionality description. For further information, seeĀ 9.24 Error Correction System.
