While designing the Integration Process, u need to perform certain steps:

1

. Create a block.Inside that block use a transformation step and a send step for ur normal scenario.

2. Now define an exception inside the block containing a transformation and a send step.This transformation will be for the message sent through email.

3.Configure the receiver Email adapter and complete the entire scenario.

Hi RAMS

basically there are two ways to do it

First you need to raise an exception for your mapping (transformation step) and then in the exception branch you can catch the exception and make reaction

option 1. use a send step to send a message to a mail receiver.

option 2. raise an alert (alert configuration is required)

Hi RAMS

For option 1:

1. you need define a block, e.g. block1

2. you define a exception for the block1, e.g. mapping_error

3. you put your transformation step in the block, and set the exception as mapping_error. (so if an mapping error occurs, a mapping_error exception is raised).

4. add an exception branch to block1 which handles the exception mapping_error

5. in the exception branch you use a send step to send a message to a email receiver (you need make configuration in Integration Directory to route the message to an email receiver).

For more information, you need to search the XI BPM documents.

Hi Hui,

putting exception for transformation step surely take care of mapping realted errors. if we put an exception branch to the block (for sending the email) , what are the situations it will be used. Any how mapping related errors are taken care by exception in mapping program! What else problems will be there in addition to mapping failure that cause Email triggering?

Thnx

rams,

after the step on which u feel, error has occured, u have to use the control step.

I guess, just search forum on "Configuring alert" and u wud find guide for the same. and surely u wud learn as well..

assign points fr helpful answers.

Hey

no need of BPM or any control step,simply configure alerts in ALRTCATDEF and it will handle all type of errors in mapping and Integration Engine and adapter engine have a look at the following

Hi RAMS,

1. Define a block inside the BPM and define all the receive, transform and send steps inside the block.

2. Select the block and

a. right click on it Select Insert --> Exception Block 0r

b. press ctrlshiftx.

3. Name the exception handler blog to sendmail.

4. For all the transform and send steps property u can find an option Exception, set the System Error property to sendmail(name of the exception handler).

5. Inside the exception handler have a send step to send out a mail.

Note: all the configuration part should be done to send out the mail.
