Error Handling

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

From the day-1 with XI I am struggling to handle my exceptions.

For example in one of my scenarios File to XI to IDOC.

Let us assume we are getting SSN & Salary and this has to go to IDOC. One of the record what we have received last night contained an Alpha Numeric value in SSN and it totally failed or the whole file was rejected.

I know I should have checked a Numeric Check on SSN and then based on that I would have routed, but we are having atleast 75 fields coming from the file and its not possible or its not meaningful to check the data type first and then send for processing.

What I am looking is, if there is a data exception, the Message mapping is going to fail and its going to hault the whole process, instead if there is a problem in the message mapping for a particular record, if there is a way to erred record in a separate basket and keep going with remaining good records for processing.

Any weblogs, any pointer will be greatly appreicated.

Thnaks.

Thanks anand. I was trying to look the Alex Blog, but I dont see at all.

I selected the Weblog from the top left corner and also the link you have provided(both took to the same place), but I am not sure where I am going wrong. Please assist me in locating the Alex Blog.

Hi Jenni,

If you select 'Weblog' from top left corner it will give you all the weblogs (ABAP, EP, XI...etc).

But the link in my previous post gives just XI weblogs.

Use the link provided in my previous post and just find (use ctrl+F) for Alex.

Not sure which weblog Jamie was refering to.

Maybe this is the blog being looked for...

/people/alessandro.guarneri/blog/2006/01/26/throwing-smart-exceptions-in-xi-graphical-mapping

it talks about excpetions from XI mapping...

However, i still donot think this will address the original issue...the blog talks about having custom exception messages(which is really helpful) which can be seen in tracing.....

Thanks,

Hi Jenni,

Have a look at this document...this case study is very similar to your scenario..but needs extensive Java coding
