Hi Somenath,

In this case u can trigger an alert from the UDF.What you can do is check for your mapping logic if the condition does not satistfy than u can trigger the alert.For trigerring alerts from UDF check the below link:

package com.guarneri.xi.mapping.udf;

public class CustomMappingException extends RuntimeException {

public CustomMappingException() {

super();

}

public CustomMappingException(String message) {

super(message);

}

public CustomMappingException(Throwable cause) {

super(cause);

}

public CustomMappingException(String message, Throwable cause) {

super(message, cause);

}

}

package com.guarneri.xi.mapping.udf;

public class ExceptionThrower {

public static void fire(String message) throws CustomMappingException {

throw new CustomMappingException(message);

}

}

imports==> com.guarneri.xi.mapping.udf;

public void ThrowException(String[] theValue, String[] theMessage, ResultList result) {

if(theValue.length==0 || theValue[0].trim().length()==0 || theValue[0]=="$Error$")

ExceptionThrower.fire(theMessage[0]);

else

result.addValue(theValue[0]);

}

}

function myudf(String a,Container container)

{

int i=0;

try

{

i=Integer.parseInt(a);

catch(NumberFormatException e)

{

throw new NumberFormatException("Not a Number");

}

return i;

}

You can write the UDF which throws NumberFormatException that triggers the Alert message in your alert inbox.
