Configuring a Block Step and catching an exception

Hi,
Can we catch an un-handled exception from an Synchronous step(proxy-send-receive), within a BPM? Can we send the error back to the Sender? How do we go about dealing it when , the process in EOIO mode. having queues...i think such exceptions will lead to queues getting held up..
Thanks & Regards

Unhandled Exception cuasing Response mapping failed? if it is not then you can send response back to Sender.
the process in EOIO mode. having queues...i think such exceptions will lead to queues getting held up..
Yes,mostly it happens.

Difference in throwing and catching an exception?

What is the difference between throwing an exception and catching an exception?

Catching an exception is where the code you right says "Hey I am going to handle any exceptions coming this way"
Throwing is where the method in which an exception is thrown says "I am not taking responsibility for any exceptions thrown"

Write and read txt files and catch the exceptions

hey everyone, im in a bit of a bind. im trying to set up this try catch statement. here is what i have for code so far.
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
public class Warning
    //   Reads student data (name, semester hours, quality points) from a
    //   text file, computes the GPA, then writes data to another file
    //   if the student is placed on academic warning.
    public static void main (String[] args)
     int creditHrs;         // number of semester hours earned
     double qualityPts;     // number of quality points earned
     double gpa;            // grade point (quality point) average
     String line, name, inputName = "students.dat";
     String outputName = "warning.dat";
     try
          Scanner FileScan1 = new Scanner (new File("students.dat"));
          // Set up scanner to input file
          // Set up the output file stream
          // Print a header to the output file
          outFile.println ();
          outFile.println ("Students on Academic Warning");
          outFile.println ();
          // Process the input file, one token at a time
          while (FileScan1.hasNext())//there is another line...
              {               // Get the credit hours and quality points and
               // determine if the student is on warning. If so,
               // write the student data to the output file.
          // Close output file
     catch (FileNotFoundException exception)
          System.out.println ("The file " + inputName + " was not found.");
     catch (IOException exception)
          System.out.println (exception);
     catch (NumberFormatException e)
          System.out.println ("Format error in input file: " + e);
}I am pretty sure the layout is good to go, but first and foremost that try statement is hanging me up. Could someone give me some suggestions about how i should set this up.
i want to read in this students.dat file, then output another file called warning.dat.
Thanks i really appreicate the help.

no, i was really hoping to just see if the way it is
set up it will be doable, that way i wouldn't be
working on code that was impossiable to sort through
properlyFair enough.
One thing I'd suggest is that if you're really basically only going to be printing the exceptions, and since that is the top-level method (main) --
I'd instead just add some "throws" clauses to main, get rid of the try/catch stuff, and just let the VM handle the exceptions for you. It will print them, just like you're doing, except that it will also print the stack traces, which you are not doing.
If you're going to handle exceptions, it's better to actually do something about them rather than just print them - otherwise you might just as well let the runtime do that for you.

How to generate and catch FP exceptions?

I use try-catch to trap integer arithmetic exceptions, but how do I set up my program to trap divide by zero and overflow for flotaing point exceptions?
Is it necessary to have a try-catch for every single FP operation in my program? Like, can I put a "catch-all" piece of code somewhere?

Division with zero in fp doesn't raise any exceptions since the result is presentable as a floating point number. You can check if the result is NaN or +/- infinity.
double number = 1.0 / 0.0;
if (number == Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY) {
shout("Hey, we just trapped infinity in our variable!!!!");
}

Can't catch the exception when transaction rollback ,BPEL/SOA 11G,updated!

Hi Guys ,
I have two insert/update invoke actions through dbadpter in my BPEL process .
When I set the GetActiveUnitOfWork property of those two db adapters to true ,it successfully makes the global transaction work . any of them failed will cause the other rollback.
But the CatchAll brunch can't catch the exception in that case,
I can only see exception message from the system output :
02/11/2009 11:36:46 AM oracle.toplink.transaction.AbstractSynchronizationListener beforeCompletion
WARNING:
Local Exception Stack:
Exception [TOPLINK-4002] (Oracle TopLink - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) (Build 090527)): oracle.toplink.exceptions.DatabaseException
Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: ORA-00001: unique constraint (Table1_PK) violated
from BPEL console , you can't even see the error , the process finished with no exception.
When I set GetActiveUnitOfWork to false, CatchAll brunch is able to catch the exception , but global rollback is not working .
I try all the other method like set the transaction property of BPEL to required , using checkpoint() in java embedding . it looks like only way is set GetActiveUnitOfWork to true, but can't catch exception.
Here are some updated:
Here is my process
Main Sequence
Invoke (dbadapter update)
Invoke (dbadapter insert)
Global CatchAll
Invoke(jmsAdapter sendjms)
if I disable the CatchAll branch , when insert failed , the insert will rollback as well, even GetActiveUnitOfWork set to false.
enable CatchAll branch , even doing nothing in this branch , the update won't rollback when insert failed. it looks like when catch the exception , bpel seems not rollback , I try to add throw rollback in catchall branch, no any effect.
any clue ?

Hi All,
We are also facing a similar kind of issue.
We have a simple BPEL which will makes use of JAva embedding to call an end point to check its availibility.
The Java code for cheking the enpoint connectivity is below
try{
boolean endpointAvailable = false;
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
int endpointTestURL_port = 8445 ;
int endpointTestURL_timeout = 500;
String endpointTestURL_queryString = "" ;
String endpointTestURL_protocol = (String)getVariableData ("endpointProtocol");
addAuditTrailEntry("endpointTestURL_protocol: " + endpointTestURL_protocol);
String endpointTestURL_host = (String)getVariableData ("endpointHost");
addAuditTrailEntry("endpointTestURL_hostl: " + endpointTestURL_host);
URL endpoint = new URL(endpointTestURL_protocol, endpointTestURL_host, 8445, endpointTestURL_queryString);
addAuditTrailEntry("endpoint object is created" );
String endpointTestURL = endpoint.toExternalForm();
addAuditTrailEntry("Checking availability of endpoint at URL: " + endpointTestURL);
// Configure connection
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)endpoint.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
addAuditTrailEntry("The Method is Get");
connection.setConnectTimeout(5000);
addAuditTrailEntry("Timeout is 500 ms");
// Open connection
connection.connect();
addAuditTrailEntry("Open Connection");
String responseMessage = connection.getResponseMessage();
addAuditTrailEntry("Recieved availability response from endpoint as: " + responseMessage);
// Close connection
connection.disconnect();
endpointAvailable = true;
if (endpointAvailable)
setVariableData("crmIsAvailable", "true");
else
setVariableData("crmIsAvailable", "false");
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println ("Error in checking endpoint availability " + e) ;
addAuditTrailEntry("error message is : " +e);
When we run the above as a seperate java program it runs fine i.e goes to the catch block and catches the exception.
But when we run it within the java embedding in BPEL(11G) it gives us the follwoing error.
The reason was The execution of this instance "490001" for process "default/GMDSSalesLeadsBackMediationInterface!1.0*soa_e1a6362f-c148-417c-819c-9327017ebfa4" is supposed to be in an active jta transaction, the current transaction status is "ROLLEDBACK" .
Consult the system administrator regarding this error.

Ccbpm block step concerns !

Hi i am having a
1.) receive step- activate correlation
2.) receive step- use correlation
3.) block with a send sync step, an exception branch for system exceptions.
wait step in the exception brach and send sync step and i defined another similar block inside the exception branch of first block to cancel the process if the second send sync step fails.
4.) send step
Here is the scenario
receive step gets a message and activates the correlation and goes into the branch. The send sync step fails because of system exception and it goes to the exception branch where it waits.
In meantime another message comes and has the same correlation id , I dont want this message to get processed until the first one has processed in the block.
How to do the serialization.Is it a built in block functionality that it should not process a new message in correlation until the block itself gets cleared of the first ??

Define your correlation as a local correlation within a new block step and let the first two receive steps be sinde this block.
This way, as soon as the 2nd receive step is completed, the correlation will have finished.

Henrique.

Block step in BPM

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem in BPM,
1) Receive the Message
2) Split the Message
3) Block starts
    a) Synchronous send to RFC
    b)Response from this is send to Send step
In this scenario, the Message is going upto "BLOCK" step, and from there it is not geting executed correctly. To my surprise in SXMB_MONI, the message going to BPM succesfully and no other message found from BPM to any system(either synchronous send / send).
Can you please help me in identifying the problem.
Regards,
Anudeep

Hi,
Problem is solved.
Multi mapping is not giving target element. It is solved when we chnaged the input payload format, from,
<ns1:Sender_SI xmlns:ns1="namespace">
<rows>
     <field1>
     <field2>
</rows>
</ns1:Sender_SI>
to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Sender_SI xmlns:ns1="namespace">
<rows>
     <field1>
     <field2>
</rows>
</ns0:Sender_SI>
By this change the Mapping worked and scenario is running succesfully.

With out try and catch

with out any try and catch is exception handling is possible in java when doing manupulation with database.
assume mydatabase is oracle,if i am going to insert a record of a primarykey field, which is already existing.i don't want to put with in try and catch.This is my case.if u have the answer for this please mail me.
thanks
rajan

assume mydatabase is oracle,if i am going to insert a
record of a primarykey field, which is already existing.
i don't want to put with in try and catch.why not? i thought the fact that checked exceptions get thrown from methods is a good thing, since you're forced either to deal with the fault immediately, or throw to the next level up, possibly transformed into an application-level exception. if methods were to simply return method-specific error codes, nothing forces anything in the program to deal with errors in a reasonable manner. not that exceptions force sensible handling of the fault--but they do force recognition of the fault.
what alternative do you desire?

Get WorkItemID of Top Block step

Hello guys,
In my WF definition I have one Block step, and in this Block some Activity steps.
In runtime, I need to cancel one workitem (Activity step) and cancel the workitem of Block step too, but in runtime I don't know the "workitemid" of Block step.
In one workitem (Activity step) I need to get the "workitemid" of top Block step.
Any idea?
Thank's!!!
Kleber

Hi Arghadip,
Thank you, very much!!!
But, I have one more question... I need cancel in runtime one Block and ALL other's workitens inside this Block.
It's possible?
For example, the FM SAP_WAPI_ADM_WORKFLOW_CANCEL cancel the workflow and all workitens, and the FM SWW_WI_ADMIN_CANCEL cancel only the workitem.
I need something similar to SAP_WAPI_ADM_WORKFLOW_CANCEL, but for one Block only.
Any idea?

How to get details about Exception catched in Exception branch of the Block

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to get details about Exception catched in Exception branch of the Block in Integration Process (BPM)?
In the Exception branch System Error is catched, but from time to time different type of System Errors are happening during sync call to WebService - Connection Timeout, Connection Refused, UnknownHost, etc.
So the task is somehow to map the type of System Error to the response. I was trying to create a mapping using as source the message which is coming from the Adapter after the sync call, but the mapping is failing with "No Source Payload" error.
Maybe the description is somewhere in Header or Dynamic configuration?
Or it is possible to access it somehow with JAVA-maping?
Thanks for your help!

Hey,
the message from the exception can be utilized by using alerts(in order to mail,sms r fax). but otherwise its not possible using mappings or container.
check this link for alert configuration.

Wehre can i find all the throw and catch exceptions

I havent had much success figuring out which predefined exceptions i should/can use. Can someone please guide me where i can find out what kind of throw and catch exceptions are there in java and how and where can i find them. thanks.

Read this first: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/exceptions.doc.html#44044
You can't find them all anywhere. You'll just encounter them as you use different APIs.
One of the most basic concepts around exceptions has to do with the difference between checked and unchecked exceptions. Any exception that extends RuntimeException is unchecked. Which means that if you call a method that throws an unchecked exception, you don't have to provide a catch block. These exceptions are usually thrown for things that could be avoided, i.e. programmer error.
The compiler will require you to have a catch block for all checked exceptions. This means you should take steps in your code to handle them and retry the operation, such as user errors.

Catch datetime exception and custom error message in SSRS

I currently working on create report by using SSRS. I have 2 parameters: [Start date] and [End date] to filter data from database and show it on report. I want to validate 2 datetime parameter as describe above. Please tell me a solution to do this.
For example:
When user type the text like: 4/15/2014mmm => System validation thrown a message: [The From Date not correct type]
But in my case, I want to receive a custom error message by myself.(Look like: [Date Invalid!])

Hi Brain,
According to your description, you have a report with two parameters for user to input. Now you want to validate these two parameters and display custom error message when the date is invalid. Right?
In Reporting Service, it doesn’t provide any interference for us to modify the system error message (the text in grey color). That means we can’t modify the system message when error occurs. However we can create a textbox in this report, use custom code
and expression to display the custom error message. But this all based on the report is successfully running. So if error occurs during report processing, all the custom code and expression will not work. In this scenario, we find a workaround for you. We
use custom code to judge if the date is valid, if the users type an invalid date, we return a default value to make sure this report can successfully run. Then we use expression to control the visibility of tablix in this report and create a textbox to show
the custom error message. Your case has been tested in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
Go to Report Properties. Put the code below into custom code:
Public Shared a As Integer=0
Public Shared Function IsDate(d1 As String,d2 As String) as Integer
        Try
           FormatDateTime(d1)
           FormatDateTime(d2)
        Catch ex As Exception
                   a=1
        End Try
return a
End Function
Create two parameters. One is StartDate, the other is EndDate. Set the data type of these two parameters Text.
Create a filter for StartDate, put the expression below into Value:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,CDate(IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,Parameters!StartDate.Value,"1/1/2012")),CDate("1/1/2012"))
Create a filter for EndDate, put the expression below into Value:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,CDate(IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,Parameters!EndDate.Value,"1/1/2013")),CDate("1/1/2013"))
Ps: In step3 and step4, the date(“1/1/2012”, “1/1/2013”) in the expression are the default we set to make sure the report can successfully process. You can set any date existing in your dataset.
Use the expression below to set the visibility of the tablix:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,false,true)
Create a textbox, put the expression below into it:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,"","Date invalid")
Save and preview. It looks like below:

Catching RFC exception and "moving" it to soapenvlp:Fault.faultcode

Hi,
i have a simple SOAP2RFC (sync) interface. my question is:
how can i catch an exception (thrown by RFC) and use it as soapenvlp:Fault.faultcode content?

Hi!

how can i catch an exception (thrown by RFC) and use it as soapenvlp:Fault.faultcode content?
Yes I think you can catch an exception by using RFC EXception (Fault) Message instead of RFC Response in the mappings. and remaining all steps are same.
But that is mostly depends upon the RFC Function module that you are using and at which the logical coding of that Function module.

Catching causal exceptions from finally{} block?

I have some code that I have not developed, yet from what I can tell throws Exceptions as in the following psuedo-code:
public void foobar() throws BarException, FooException {
        try {
              throw new FooException();
        } finally {
                throw new BarException();
}This expectedly returns BarException, not FooException. Question is since FooException was thrown, is there any way to get a reference to the original cause?

This is due to the good-ol' problem of cleaning up
java.sql.Connection objects to a connection pool in
the finally block yet wanting to ensure the original
exception is propagated to the calling method,
whereas the OP should catch the exception,
maintain temporary reference, then use it as a
reference to the other Exception in the finally
if there's no better way for her to do it.There's a better way to do it. You don't need to keep a temp reference to that exception in your finally block. Finally doesn't need to know anything about the exception. public void foo() {
    try {
        Bar bar = sqlStuff();
    catch (SQLException exc) {
        // This catch block will execute if SQLException is thrown at *1*
        System.err.println("I got a SQLException!");
private Bar sqlStuff() throws SQLException, MyException {
    try {
        // *1* do something that might throws SQLException, and maybe something else
        return aBar;
    catch (SomeOtherException exc) {
        throw new MyException(exc);
    finally {
        // close ResultSet, Statement, Connection
        // NO EXCEPTION re-throwing
    // or return aBar here
} If a SQLException is thrown inside the try block, finally will execute, and then the method will throw that original SQL exception. If SomeOtherException is thrown, it will be caught, a new MyException will be created to wrap it, the finally block will execute, and the MyException will be thrown from the method. If everything goes well, the finally block will execute, and the method will return aBar.
All this will happen without the finally block touching or knowing about any exception that was thrown before entering it.

How the try and catch blocks work?

For the following section of code from the class QueueInheritanceTest...how the try and catch blocks work?
The Class...
public class QueueInheritance extends List {
public QueueInheritance() { super( "queue" ); }
public void enqueue( Object o )
{ insertAtBack( o ); }
public Object dequeue()
throws EmptyListException { return removeFromFront(); }
public boolean isEmpty() { return super.isEmpty(); }
public void print() { super.print(); }
Testing...
public class QueueInheritanceTest {
public static void main( String args[] ){
QueueInheritance objQueue = new QueueInheritance();
// Create objects to store in the queue
Boolean b = Boolean.TRUE;
Character c = new Character( '$' );
Integer i = new Integer( 34567 );
String s = "hello";
// Use the enqueue method
objQueue.enqueue( b );
objQueue.enqueue( c );
objQueue.enqueue( i );
objQueue.enqueue( s );
objQueue.print();
// Use the dequeue method
Object removedObj = null;
try { while ( true ) {
removedObj = objQueue.dequeue();
System.out.println(removedObj.toString()+" dequeued" );
objQueue.print();
catch ( EmptyListException e ) {
System.err.println( "\n" + e.toString() );

In terms of this particular case, it looks like the code is using an exception being thrown to get out of a loop. IMHO that's bad design -- exceptions should be used for exceptional circumstances, and if you use it to get out of a loop, then you're certain it's going to happen, and that means that it's not exceptional.
When you post code, please wrap it in tags so it's legible.
