Exception Handling in Maps without Suspending the Orchestration Instance.
Hi,
Is there any way to handle Exceptions inside Maps so that the Orchestration Instance doesnot get suspended.
The map can be an Inbound or Outbound map. Orchestration needs to continue processing/sending other messages in sequence even if one message transformation failed.
Any information/pointers in this regard are highly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
You can subscribe to the failed messages. When a failed message is generated, BizTalk Server promotes error-report-related
message context properties and demotes regular message context properties before publishing the failed message. Compare this to the default behavior when failed message routing is not enabled: Messages that fail are suspended.
You can subscribe to the failed messages via an orchestration.

How to launch a function/procedure without suspending the parent process?
Hi everybody,
I would like to know if I can define something as follows in PLSQL:
procedure master
begin
call a procedure_child;
End master;
I would like that the procedure master does not suspend the execution and wait that the procedure_child finishes in order to resume the executions with the further code.
Thanks a lot in advanced
TomeuIn the future, please stick to posting in a single forum.

Exception Handling (in Mapping) with out using BPM
Hello All,
We are on SP17. I have a simple flow involving XI
JMS -> XI (Message Mapping -> XSL Mapping) -> Mail
I would like to send an email if there is an exception in any of the mapping. But I <b>don't want to use a BPM</b> for this exception handling. How can I do it?
Thanks

Downloading maps without connect the phone.
With the map loader it was possible to download the maps to a memory card (only after started once Ovi maps on the phone) without connect the phone to the computer. With Ovi suite it is not possible do it anymore.
please back this function. To download several GB I need time and download the maps directly on the memory card give me the possibility to use the phone normally.navio1973 wrote:

CORBA System Exception handling code mapping for Weblogic
Hi,
I am in the process of porting some older code that was hosted in an Inprise AppServer
4.1 environment to Weblogic 8.1. The existing code is catching several CORBA system
exceptions that include the following :
org.omg.CORBA.NO_RESPONSE
org.omg.CORBA.UNKNOWN
org.omg.CORBA.NO_MEMORY
org.omg.CORBA.NO_RESOURCES
org.omg.CORBA.OBJECT_NOT_EXIST
As far as i understand, these exceptions will never be thrown by the Weblogic
8.1 Server. I wanted to see if someone can guide me as to which RMI exceptions
will be thrown by Weblogic server instead of the above mentioned CORBA exceptions
Thanks in advance

Can I change the table name in a mapping without redoing the connections?
Hi All,
I have a mapping that connects table A to table B_old. Is there a way change table "B_old" to "B_new" without altering any of the connections? (in other words, I just want to swap out the table)
Thanks
ireneYou can rename the table within the mapping and then synchronize it with the new table, using the option "match by names". The fields must have the same names as the new table fields. New fields will be created in the table.

Public exception handler in database package
I'm working on Oracle 10 g; I have a package with 10 functions, instead of writing exception for each individually is there is a way to do the same exception handler in all without repeating the exception handler in the 10 function (my exception handler is the same for the 10 function)
It would depend on how you are using the functions, and what exactly your exception handler does.
If, for example, your handler for no_data_found does a specific select statement, then you could put this statement in another function and call that function in the exception handler of each of the 10 functions. Note that you would need to catch the exception in eacg function, but the common code would be in one place. Something like:
FUNCTION error_func RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
SELECT other_stuff INTO var;
RETURN var;
END;
function1 RETURN NUMBER IS;
BEGIN
SELECT stuff INTO var;
RETURN var;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
effor_func;
END;
function2 RETURN NUMBER IS;
BEGIN
SELECT stuff INTO var;
RETURN var;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
effor_func;
END;
function3 RETURN NUMBER IS;
BEGIN
SELECT stuff INTO var;
RETURN var;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
effor_func;
END;If you always run all 10 functions in sequence, then you could make a wrapper to call the functions, and catch exceptions in the wrapper. Something along the lines of:
FUNCTION wrapper RETURN NUMBER IS;
BEGIN
function1;
function2;
function10;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
do something;
END;As constructed here, the wrapper wil not know which function errored nor will it continue running the other functions after getting an error.

Handling PI 7.1 RFC Lookup Exception in Graphical Mapping
Dear Experts,
I would like to know the better way of handling PI 7.1 - RFC Lookup Exception in Graphical Mapping without using BPM. Say I perform a RFC Lookup from PI 7.1 Graphical Mapping and it fails due to RFC server down. In this case I suppose the RFC exception would be returned as response to the mapping? But, am really not sure how this response (RFC Exception) could be effectively used. Please clarify.
Thanks,
Hussain.
Edited by: HussainShaik on Oct 26, 2009 8:24 AMHi Hussain,
I am not sure if I understood you query completely.
IF the RFC look up raised some exception then how this is going to impact your interface will depend your mapping (which you did in ESR)
(the following is adopted from help.sap,com)
If you handled exceptions by selecting Use Exceptions checkbox in the function properties of the standard function, the mapping editor adds an additional parameter in red (the bottommost return parameter) to the standard function in the data-flow editor. If you do not assign a target field to this return parameter, ignore the RFC exceptions (the message mapping is not terminated at runtime). Otherwise the mapping runtime transfers the exception as an XML structure and it can then be evaluated in a user-defined function, for example. If there is no exception, the mapping runtime transfers an empty context.
If you have not selected the Use Exceptions checkbox, the mapping runtime terminates the message mapping if an exception occurs during the RFC lookup.
Is this you are looking here?
Also check this thread and help.sap site

It takes long time to invoke the Exception handler code
In our setup there is firewall between the Appserver that is using toplink and the database.The firewall terminates idle connection on any port if the connection is idle for 1 hr.So i have implemented an exception handler to reconnect when the connection is broken.The code works fine but It takes 15 mins for the exception handler code to be invoked.
The database is Oracle and the driver is thin driver,OS is solaris.No external connection pool
I had registered the exceptionhandler to the serversession,should i register it with each ClientSession?yes ,15 mins is the time taken before the server session's exception handler code is invoked.
The following is the exception handler code on the sever session.Any thing wrong?
server.setExceptionHandler(new ExceptionHandler()
public Object handleException(RuntimeException ex)
{//This method is executed only after 15 min ,if the connection is broken
String mess=ex.getMessage();
System.out.println("In handler excep mess is "+mess);
if ((ex instanceof DatabaseException) && (mess.equals("connection reset by peer.")||(mess.indexOf("IOException :Broken pipe")!=-1)))
DatabaseException dbex = (DatabaseException) ex;
dbex.getAccessor().reestablishConnection (dbex.getSession());
return dbex.getSession().executeQuery(dbex.getQuery());
return null;
What could be wrong ?
I tried Oracle's connection cache Impl created a connection pool using the same thin driver and on the same env.SQLException is thrown immediately on using the broken connection.so I feel the driver is not causing any problem.
Is there any way in toplink to keep the connections active?or Is there any way to poll all connections in the connection pool and check If they are connected instead of waiting until the exception gets thrown and handle it? -
What is the idea behind Render Response and Exception Handling in TF?
Dear All,
While searching for answer for my question, I find it hard to decipher this line.
task flow exception handling doesn't handle any exception that is in Render Response phase
I found this several times in many post like this.
Re: ADF Exception handling (including RENDER RESPNSE PHASE)
and this
Re: Exception Handling in TaskFlow
What's the idea behind exception handling in task flow that is related to JSF/ADF life cycle?
I can't find a resource on why I should know what phase an exception has been thrown?
Sorry if my question might be vague/ignorant to others, but I just would like to know the idea from experts around here. :)
Thanks.
JDEV 11G PS4Hi,
Render Response is the last lifecycle phase processed during JSF request. The ADF controller has no chance of handling exceptions that occur during this time (example, exception thrown in managed bean) and therefore in its default exception handling implementation ignores this lifecycle phase. As an application developer you don't need to know when an exception is raised. However, if you find that an exception occurs during Render Response and it is not handled by the ADFc declarative exception handler, then you know. You can try and override the framework exception handler as explained here:
https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/extending_the_adf_controller_exception_handler
However, better practice is to use try/catch blocks surrounding e.g. calls in a managed bean that could cause exceptions

PL/SQL 101 : Exception Handling
Frequently I see questions and issues around the use of Exception/Error Handling in PL/SQL. More often than not the issue comes from the questioners misunderstanding about how PL/SQL is constructed and executed, so I thought I'd write a small article covering the key concepts to give a clear picture of how it all hangs together. (Note: the examples are just showing examples of the exception handling structure, and should not be taken as truly valid code for ways of handling things)
Exception Handling
Contents
1. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 1)
2. Execution of the Execution Block
3. Exceptions
4. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 2)
5. How to continue exection of statements after an exception
6. User defined exceptions
7. Line number of exception
8. Exceptions within code within the exception block
1. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 1)
The first thing that one needs to understand is almost taking us back to the basics of PL/SQL... how a PL/SQL execution block is constructed.
Essentially an execution block is made of 3 sections...
+---------------------------+
| Declaration Section |
+---------------------------+
| Statements Section |
+---------------------------+
| Exception Section |
+---------------------------+
The Declaration section is the part defined between the PROCEDURE/FUNCTION header or the DECLARE keyword (for anonymous blocks) and the BEGIN keyword. (Optional section)
The Statements section is where your code goes and lies between the BEGIN keyword and the EXCEPTION keyword (or END keyword if there is no EXCEPTION section). (Mandatory section)
The Exception section is where any exception handling goes and lies between the EXCEPTION keyword at the END keyword. (Optional section)
Example of an anonymous block...
DECLARE
.. declarative statements go here ..
BEGIN
.. code statements go here ..
EXCEPTION
.. exception handlers go here ..
END;
Example of a procedure/function block...
[CREATE OR REPLACE] (PROCEDURE|FUNCTION) <proc or fn name> [(<parameters>)] [RETURN <datatype>] (IS|AS)
.. declarative statements go here ..
BEGIN
.. code statements go here ..
EXCEPTION
.. exception handlers go here ..
END;
(Note: The same can also be done for packages, but let's keep it simple)
2. Execution of the Execution Block
This may seem a simple concept, but it's surprising how many people have issues showing they haven't grasped it. When an Execution block is entered, the declaration section is processed, creating a scope of variables, types , cursors, etc. to be visible to the execution block and then execution enters into the Statements section. Each statment in the statements section is executed in turn and when the execution completes the last statment the execution block is exited back to whatever called it.
3. Exceptions
Exceptions generally happen during the execution of statements in the Statements section. When an exception happens the execution of statements jumps immediately into the exception section. In this section we can specify what exceptions we wish to 'capture' or 'trap' and do one of the two following things...
(Note: The exception section still has access to all the declared items in the declaration section)
3.i) Handle the exception
We do this when we recognise what the exception is (most likely it's something we expect to happen) and we have a means of dealing with it so that our application can continue on.
Example...
(without the exception handler the exception is passed back to the calling code, in this case SQL*Plus)
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 declare
2 v_name VARCHAR2(20);
3 begin
4 select ename
5 into v_name
6 from emp
7 where empno = &empno;
8 dbms_output.put_line(v_name);
9* end;
SQL> /
Enter value for empno: 123
old 7: where empno = &empno;
new 7: where empno = 123;
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at line 4
(with an exception handler, we capture the exception, handle it how we want to, and the calling code is happy that there is no error for it to report)
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 declare
2 v_name VARCHAR2(20);
3 begin
4 select ename
5 into v_name
6 from emp
7 where empno = &empno;
8 dbms_output.put_line(v_name);
9 exception
10 when no_data_found then
11 dbms_output.put_line('There is no employee with this employee number.');
12* end;
SQL> /
Enter value for empno: 123
old 7: where empno = &empno;
new 7: where empno = 123;
There is no employee with this employee number.
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
3.ii) Raise the exception
We do this when:-
a) we recognise the exception, handle it but still want to let the calling code know that it happened
b) we recognise the exception, wish to log it happened and then let the calling code deal with it
c) we don't recognise the exception and we want the calling code to deal with it
Example of b)
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 declare
2 v_name VARCHAR2(20);
3 v_empno NUMBER := &empno;
4 begin
5 select ename
6 into v_name
7 from emp
8 where empno = v_empno;
9 dbms_output.put_line(v_name);
10 EXCEPTION
11 WHEN no_data_found THEN
12 INSERT INTO sql_errors (txt)
13 VALUES ('Search for '||v_empno||' failed.');
14 COMMIT;
15 RAISE;
16* end;
SQL> /
Enter value for empno: 123
old 3: v_empno NUMBER := &empno;
new 3: v_empno NUMBER := 123;
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at line 15
SQL> select * from sql_errors;
TXT
Search for 123 failed.
SQL>
Example of c)
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 declare
2 v_name VARCHAR2(20);
3 v_empno NUMBER := &empno;
4 begin
5 select ename
6 into v_name
7 from emp
8 where empno = v_empno;
9 dbms_output.put_line(v_name);
10 EXCEPTION
11 WHEN no_data_found THEN
12 INSERT INTO sql_errors (txt)
13 VALUES ('Search for '||v_empno||' failed.');
14 COMMIT;
15 RAISE;
16 WHEN others THEN
17 RAISE;
18* end;
SQL> /
Enter value for empno: 'ABC'
old 3: v_empno NUMBER := &empno;
new 3: v_empno NUMBER := 'ABC';
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06512: at line 3
SQL> select * from sql_errors;
TXT
Search for 123 failed.
SQL>
As you can see from the sql_errors log table, no log was written so the WHEN others exception was the exception that raised the error to the calling code (SQL*Plus)
4. Understanding Execution Blocks (part 2)
Ok, so now we understand the very basics of an execution block and what happens when an exception happens. Let's take it a step further...
Execution blocks are not just a single simple block in most cases. Often, during our statements section we have a need to call some reusable code and we do that by calling a procedure or function. Effectively this nests the procedure or function's code as another execution block within the current statement section so, in terms of execution, we end up with something like...
+---------------------------------+
| Declaration Section |
+---------------------------------+
| Statements Section |
| . |
| +---------------------------+ |
| | Declaration Section | |
| +---------------------------+ |
| | Statements Section | |
| +---------------------------+ |
| | Exception Section | |
| +---------------------------+ |
| . |
+---------------------------------+
| Exception Section |
+---------------------------------+
Example... (Note: log_trace just writes some text to a table for tracing)

2 v_dummy NUMBER := log_trace('Procedure A''s Declaration Section');
3 begin
4 v_dummy := log_trace('Procedure A''s Statement Section');

Likewise, execution blocks can be nested deeper and deeper.
5. How to continue exection of statements after an exception
One of the common questions asked is how to return execution to the statement after the one that created the exception and continue on.
Well, firstly, you can only do this for statements you expect to raise an exception, such as when you want to check if there is no data found in a query.
If you consider what's been shown above you could put any statement you expect to cause an exception inside it's own procedure or function with it's own exception section to handle the exception without raising it back to the calling code. However, the nature of procedures and functions is really to provide a means of re-using code, so if it's a statement you only use once it seems a little silly to go creating individual procedures for these.
Instead, you nest execution blocks directly, to give the same result as shown in the diagram at the start of part 4 of this article.

You can see from this that, very simply, the code that we expected may have an exception was able to either handle the exception and return to the outer execution block to continue execution, or if an unexpected exception occurred then it was able to be raised up to the outer exception section.
6. User defined exceptions
There are three sorts of 'User Defined' exceptions. There are logical situations (e.g. business logic) where, for example, certain criteria are not met to complete a task, and there are existing Oracle errors that you wish to give a name to in order to capture them in the exception section. The third is raising your own exception messages with our own exception numbers. Let's look at the first one...
Let's say I have tables which detail stock availablility and reorder levels...

ITEM_ID STOCK_LEVEL

Now, our Business has told the administrative clerk to check stock levels and re-order anything that is below the re-order level, but not to hold stock of more than 4 times the re-order level for any particular item. As an IT department we've been asked to put together an application that will automatically produce the re-order documents upon the clerks request and, because our company is so tight-ar*ed about money, they don't want to waste any paper with incorrect printouts so we have to ensure the clerk can't order things they shouldn't.

That's better. And now we don't have to use all those nested IF statements and worry about it accidently getting to code that will print the order out as, once one of our user defined exceptions is raised, execution goes from the Statements section into the Exception section and all handling of errors is done in one place.
Now for the second sort of user defined exception...
A new requirement has come in from the Finance department who want to have details shown on the order that show a re-order 'indicator' based on the formula ((maximum allowed stock - current stock)/re-order quantity), so this needs calculating and passing to the report...

Hmm, there's a problem if the person specifies a re-order quantity of zero. It raises an unhandled exception.
Well, we could put a condition/check into our code to make sure the parameter is not zero, but again we would be wrapping our code in an IF statement and not dealing with the exception in the exception handler.
We could do as we did before and just include a simple IF statement to check the value and raise our own user defined exception but, in this instance the error is standard Oracle error (ORA-01476) so we should be able to capture it inside the exception handler anyway... however...
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA-01476 THEN
... is not valid. What we need is to give this Oracle error a name.
This is done by declaring a user defined exception as we did before and then associating that name with the error number using the PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT statement in the declaration section.

Exception Handling for inserts
Hi,
My requirement is to populate a table with values got by selecting columns from various table on join conditions. It works fine if all the rows inserted are unique. However if the row to be inserted is duplicate, it violates the uniqueness constraint.
I want an exception wherein if select query returns 100 rows, of which 80 are already there in the table to be populated, it should just insert the 20 records.
Below is the SP i wrote for the same. However, as soon as it meets exception condition, it just prints the condition and exits, without processing the rest of the records. Please look at the SP below and suggest a solution.

added {noformat}{noformat} tags (for what it was worth). Please read {message:id=9360002} and learn to do this yourself in future.Using SQL you would create an error table and modify the INSERT to log the errors. See the 'Inserting Into a Table with Error Logging' section of http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_9014.htm. Note this approach will not work if you are using direct path loads since the log table won't be used.
If you are going to use PL/SQL for this then what you want is to use BULK COLLECT and then a FORALL with a SAVE EXCEPTIONS clause.
>
A. BULK COLLECT INTO plsqlTable LIMIT 5000 - These are your new records you want to INSERT
B. FORALL ... SAVE EXCEPTIONS - This is the INSERT query to insert the new records
C. Use a bulk exception handler. Any record in the FORALL that causes an exception will have it's index put into the bulk exception array. In the bulk exception handler you can loop through the array and access the records that caused the error using the index into the plsqlTable and do any error logging you need to do.
>
The bulk exception array will have the plsql table index of the row that caused the error. You can index into the plsql table (see Step A above) to access the record and then log it, INSERT it into a duplicates table or whatever you want.
The important thing is that the records that do not have errors will still get processed. Similar result to what will happen if you use SQL and an error table. -
Is Exception handler necessary for every stored subprogram
Hi All,
I knwo exception handler is very important. But is it necessary for every stored procedure or function?
For example,
procedure test(p_index_code IN varchar2(10)
p_changed_code OUT varchar2(15))
as
begin
IF p_index_code = 'A' then
p_changed_code := 'A'|| p_index_code;
elsif p_index_code = 'B' then
p_changed_code := 'B'|| p_index_code;
else
p_changed_code := p_index_code;
end if;
end;
This kind of simple procedures, do I have to add the 'exection when others than raise_application_error(-20001,'error in this SP')'?
I can't see obvious drawbacks without the exception handler in this CASE.
Best regards,
Leon

The exception is not an error.
The exception raised is a technical error, but may not be a business or processing error. The typical example is the NO_DATA_FOUND exception. The business logic may say "+when there is no fixed discounts found, apply a 5% dis-count+". So not finding (dis-count) row data in such a case is not an exception. What does you exception handler do? It fixes the exception and there is not an exception anymore. In other words, the caller that called your code will never know that there was an exception.
Making the exception meaningful
An exception, like NO_DATA_FOUND, is not very meaningful. What is meaningful is NO_INVOICE_FOUND or NO_CUSTOMER_FOUND. Thus your exception handler can catch a generic exception and make it more meaningful by returning a custom application exception instead.
Action stations
Some exceptions will require you to clean up and fix what you can - kind of like action stations when a ship takes a hit. But as you cannot fix the exception, the exception must be passed to the caller so that it too can decide how to re-act to that exception. For example, you may have an open ref cursor or open UTL_FILE handle that needs to be closed when your code terminates. If not, your code will leak resources. So you need to trap exceptions that can occur, clean up, and then re-raise the exception (this is called a resource protection code block in other languages). You may have done a partial transaction - and the exception handler may need to roll back the changes your code made. The bottom line here is that you must re-raise the exception after you have done your "+action stations+" bit. You did not fix the exception. You did not make it more meaningful. In that case you must pass it back to the caller so that it can decide what it needs to do about that exception.
Using an exception for any other reason - that would likely be the wrong thing to do most of the time. -
TaskFlow Exception Handler Behavior
Hi all,
I have a question about taskflow exception handler.
My customer is using method-call exception handler to display error detail as FacesMessage dialog in their taskflow.
And they are now trying to find the way to call exception handler but not to show the dialog in case that some sort of exceptions happen.
To achieve this requirement they delete FacesContext.addMesage() from their exception handler, but when not call addMessage() they always get return code 500 (internal server error).
From the behavior we've got, do we always need to call addMessage() in it to come back to original page?
Regards,
AtsushiHi Frank,
Thank you for your reply. Please let me ask you another question.
When method-call error handler is executed it returns an outcome. And the outcome determines the next activity I get to.
My question is whether it is a designed behavior of method-call error handler that when the below two conditions are met I get back to the original error page to see facesMessage dialog.
1. The method-call outcome doesn't match any control flow case
2. addMessage() is called in the method defined at method-call
If any, I'd like to know how to get back the original page after error handler is executed without faces message.
Thanks,
Atsushi
