Teststand error handling Option

Hi all,
I am looking for a way that when a step get error, Sequence will not be terminated but continue to run other steps.
I found no error handle option to fit my need as the below. Value 1 seems to be good but it terminated the sequence. Value 2 sumary test result validate as good which is not useful. is there any way I can change the error handle structure?
RTEOption_Abort–(Value: 3) Instructs the execution to abort the execution.
RTEOption_Continue–(Value: 1) Instructs the execution to process the error by propagating the error to the calling sequence, if one exists. If the current step group is Setup or Main, the execution jumps directly to the Cleanup step group.
RTEOption_Ignore–(Value: 2) Instructs the execution to ignore the error and continue normal execution.
RTEOption_Retry–(Value: 4) Instructs the execution to ignore the error and re-execute the step that caused the error condition. For the StationOptions.RTEOption property, the Execution.RTEOptionForThisExecution property, and the Thread.SetBatchRTEOption method, TestStand interprets the RTEOption_Retry value as RTEOption_Continue.
RTEOption_ShowDialog–(Value: 0) Instructs the execution to launch the Run-Time Error dialog box when an error occurs.
Purpose

You could use the SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError callback and handle errors if you need to do something custom.
An example ships with Teststand which will give you some pointers.

XI Error Handling options

Hello,
Can anyone guide me on what are the options available for XI monitoring and error handling..for the support strategy.. and some URL and links on those will be helpful.
For instance ALERTS can be used,... or Regular Monitoring in SXMB_Moni (this is very crude for client)
Like that...
I just want to show the options to Customer.
Thanks,
Himadri

Hi Himadri,
Error handling in XI is already discussed in our forum. I mention the same hereunder:-
You can handle the error in different places in XI

Displaying errors when Enable automatic error handling option is on

In order to display error messages do I need general or simple error handler to implement if I have Enable automatic error handling on?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Both will (optionally) display a popup when an error occurs. The general error handler just has more options for special cases. The simple error handler is typically sufficient.
If you havce automatic error handing enabled, you'll get a popup whenever a function generates an error AND the error output is not wired. Once you wire an error handler, the automatic error handling will no longer occur.
To display an error, you can also just place a plain error indicator on the front panel. This avoids annoying popup messages.

If an error occurs, the error is reported as a package error in the DTP monitor. The error is not assigned to the data record. The cross-reference tables for determining the data record numbers are not built; this results in faster processing.
The incorrect records are not written to the error stack since the request is terminated and has to be updated again in its entirety.
No update, no reporting (default)
If errors occur, the system terminates the update of the entire data package. The request is not released for reporting. The incorrect record is highlighted so that the error can be assigned to the data record.
The incorrect records are not written to the error stack since the request is terminated and has to be updated again in its entirety.
Update valid records, no reporting (request red)
This option allows you to update valid data. This data is only released for reporting after the administrator checks the incorrect records that are not updated and manually releases the request (by a QM action, that is, setting the overall status on the Status tab page in the monitor).
The incorrect records are written to a separate error stack in which the records are edited and can be updated manually using an error DTP.
Update valid records, reporting possible
Valid records can be reported immediately. Automatic follow-up actions, such as adjusting the aggregates, are also carried out.

ADF Error Handling Options

JDeveloper 11.1.1.5
I'm tring to handle errors to avoid showing java stack trace, SQL, and instead show user friendly messages.
(A) To handle errors in the model layer I setup DataBindings.cpx by I adding as ErrorHandlerClass="package.MyDCErrorHandler" that extends DCErrorHandlerImpl.
Inside MyDCErrorHandler I simply log the exception then throw a new JBO exception with a generic "Unhandled error call customer support" message instead of the exception message.
(B) On the task flow I created a method and marked it as exception handler as descibed here.
http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2011/03/exception-handler-for-method-calls.html
http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2011/03/exception-handler-for-method-calls_19.html
I do similar logic here, log the exception then show generic faces message "Unhandled error call customer support"
Is this a good methodolgy?
This seems to work fairly well but ocassionaly an exception slips through and shows default error message.
I'm now looking at this option
http://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/extending_the_adf_controller_exception_handler
How does this compare to extending DCErrorHandlerImpl(A) and task flow exception handler method(B)?
I note that this option uses Throwable instead of Exception. Will this handle java errors (like OutOfMemory)?

Actually the default ADFc Exception handler does not listen for all kind of exceptions but only those that can be handled by the controller. If you have an exception that is not handled by the ADFc exception handler then you can take a chance and handle this in your own exception handler class. You would handle the specific exception you are interested the most to handle and re-throw all the rest for the ADFc controller to try and handle.
Just create a custom handler and print the exceptions you receive in there. If this prints the OOM error then you can handle it. If it isn't shown here then you cannot handle it this way

General error handling operation

Hi,
I did not find a comprehensive explanation how error handling works in TestStand, only bits and pieces about the callbacks (perhaps I looked at the wrong places).
Anyway, I made some experiments with SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError and StationPostStepRuntimeError - intentionally leaving out ProcessModelPostStepRuntimeError to reduce complexity - and came up with the attached flow chart. I would like to know:
if that shows the correct operation of TestStand error handling (we are currently using 4.1, about to switch to 2010 or 2012, so it would also be interesting to know if anything changes with the new versions)
if it is always the case that the combination of ErrorReported=True und Error.Occurred=True after the error handler leads to termination of the execution? I could not find any setting governing that (the "goto cleanup immediately" setting of the sequence was off;
Best regards
Peter

TestStand_ErrorHandling.png ‏36 KB

Hi Peter,
1) Every step has :
error.code - to set the error code
error.occured - boolen if set true displays a popup error message to the user
error.message - the popup contains this message
when you set error.occured=true it will bring up a popup message with the error.message and error.code.
Please note that this may not be acceptable in the manufacturing environment where operators may not be trained to check for errors.
The general practice in manufacturing is to fail all important steps that errors out so that the final result is failed.Then do a offline analysis.This is done by step.results.status = "Failed".You can also populate step.results.ReportText with proper values so that your test report reflects the type of error/failure.
2) Regarding the SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError and StationPostStepRuntimeError - they are optional error handling methods if you want to act on errors.
3)Every step has an option ( look for properties-->post actions).On Pass or On fail destinations can be set for each step.Cleanup is always executed except in cases of abort.
4) In the menu configure-->Station options-->execution there is an option for runtime errors ( one of them is run cleanup).
Hope the above information helps.

Error Handling for DSO

Hi all,
Is it not possible to give error handling options for DSO in Delta loads?
I have created a delta infopackage to load data from Order Line Item (2LIS_11_VAITM) into a DSO.
But the error handling gives only option 'No Update ,No reporting'.
I want to give the option 'Valid Records update, reporting possible (request green)' option.
Please let me know whether any setting needs to be done to make this option available.
Thanks in advance.

Execution properties, Enable automatic error handling

Hi
I am writing real-time code for standalone execution on a cRIO-9074.
If I untick the "Enable automatic error handling" option in VI properties (Execution), what is the consequence if I have an application with no error handling case structures to detect the occurrence of errors elsewhere and within subVI's ? Does the error just go undetected and the application continue regardless? If ticked, could a standalone application hang as there is no user-interface for the error to get reported automatically to? Can I configure the LabVIEW RTE to automatically handle errors in a certain way regardless of individual VI settings of the "Enable automatic error handling" option?
I am a bit confused by the usefulness of "Enable automatic error handling" within RT/FPGA code, and where in the development process it is best enabled then disabled (if necessary).
Thanks

Does the error just go undetected and the application continue regardless?
That's the case: the error is lost (i.e. it's not handled), and the application goes on.
If ticked, could a standalone application hang as there is no user-interface for the error to get reported automatically to?
The property "Enable automatic error handling" is not availabe in the run-time engine, so there's no automatic error handling in a built application,
Can I configure the LabVIEW RTE to automatically handle errors in a certain way regardless of individual VI settings of the "Enable automatic error handling" option?
No, for the reason stated above.
I am a bit confused by the usefulness of "Enable automatic error handling" within RT/FPGA code, and where in the development process it is best enabled then disabled (if necessary).
There's no "Enable automatic error handling" property in Labview RT either.

Option for error handling for DTP, ' no updata, no reporting" and "deactiva

Hello Gurus,
     option for error handling for DTP, ' no updata, no reporting" and "deactivated" , please give some explanation and instance for them?
Many Thanks,

On the Update tab page, specify how you want the system to respond to data records with errors:
                            a.      No update, no reporting (default)
If errors occur, the system terminates the update of the entire data package. The request is not released for reporting. However, the system continues to check the records.
                            b.      Update valid records, no reporting (request red)
This option allows you to update valid data. This data is only released for reporting after the administrator checks the incorrect records that have not been updated and manually releases the request by setting the overall status on the Status tab page in the monitor (QM action).
                            c.      Update valid records, reporting possible
Valid records can be reported immediately. Automatic follow-up actions, such as adjusting the aggregates, are also carried out.

Break execution after custom run-time error handler callback

I am using Teststand 2010 SP1 and have written a custom runtime error handler based on the ErrorHandlerExample example that ships with TestStand. It has been implemented as a StationPostStepRuntimeError callback in my Station Callbacks folder. I have modified the example as follows:
(1) Added code to turn off the UUT transmitter if it was on.
(2) Added a call to an executable that sends an email to the currently logged in user.
(3) Calls the standard TestStand run-time error dialog using the Engine DisplayRunTimeErrorDialog method.
(4) Processes the user's selection, then turns on the UUT transmitter for any option other then Abort.
The callback also checks the status of the Break and "Don't Show again for this execution" options selected by the user. If the user selects Break then the only option I can find is to call the API Execution.Break() method which breaks the execution right there in my callback. The user then has to single step there way out of the callback. Is there a way of instructing TestStand to complete the callback execution and break immediately after completing the callback (i.e.at the step following the error)? I've zipped up and attached my modified sequence.
Alternatively, is there a better way of doing this?
Regards,
David

LV7.1 Strange behavior with Automatic Error Handling occuring when it shouldn't [LV 7.1 Pro on WinXP for Tablet PC's]

[LV 7.1 Pro on WinXP for Tablet PC's]
I recently let a rather large LV app of mine run in the development environment while I was out for a couple of days. Upon returning I found that the app had hung for ~22 hours waiting for an answer to an Automatic Error Handling (AEH) dialog proclaiming an Error 7 in New File without any indication of the VI hierarchy that called New File. I set about ensuring that AEH dialogs would not pop up and have not been able to discover how I could have possibly received one in the first place.
Subsequent investigation revealed:
Neither AEH option in Options>Block Diagrams were checked.
Network problems had occurred around the time that the app had hung. All file paths are network paths when running in the development environment, so the cause of the error was most likely valid, even if the AEH dialog appearance wasn't.
My app has only one instance where the New File primitive is used by me. That subVI and all others above it in the hierarchy DO NOT have the AEH property enabled. The error out cluster of New File in my subvi is wired.
My app has three instances where New File is called from a vi.lib vi (Open/Create/Replace File.vi, Open Config Data.vi, and Prompt Web Browser Path.vi), none of which have the AEH property enabled. Nor does any of their calling VI's. All three instances also have their error out cluster wired.
A utility to examine the AEH property of all VI's (with all top level and dynamic VI's loaded) in memory reported that only 1 of 308 vi's ( RGT Does File Exists.vi from the Report Generation Toolkit) had that property true. That vi has no subVI's other than the File/Directory Info primitive and no calling VI's in common with any of the vi's that call New File, except a top level VI.
As long as 'Enable automatic error handling dialogs' remains unselected in options>block diagram, I am unable to get an AEH dialog for either the New File or File/Directory Info primitives in a test VI with AEH property enabled and their error out clusters unwired no matter what invalid path I pass to the functions. As soon as the options>block diagram>Enable AEH dialogs' is selected, both primitives fire AEH dialogs with no error out wired and don't when wired. i.e. works as advertised.
In other words I can find no reason why I should have gotten the problem AEH dialog...
I cannot afford for this app to hang because of a network problem, other portions of the app that were running concurrently correctly handled the error and, had the AEH dialog not appeared, the app would have made corrections or shutdown in an orderly fashion.
Any ideas?

Very good.
Write Characters to File.vi>Open/Create/Replace File.vi>New File
New File throws the error. Open/Create/Replace strips the hierarchy from the source of the error. Write Characters passes it to the General Error Handler. I never looked above O/C/R file in the hierarchy except for enable automatic error handling property. The tip-off should have been to realize that O/C/R file was stripping the hierarchy from the error and look above that.
The real irony is that Write Characters was being used to log error cluster data to an error log file...
Save as... Copy without updating... the OEM 'Write Characters to File' is gone from this app.
Thanx (a bunch)

Error handling in process chain-doubts

Hi ,
I have some doubts in error handling of process chains.
1) I have aprocess load infopackeage and subsequent process is update fromPSA.
process load infopackage got failed , so i loaded the IP manually and repeated the next i.e process update from PSA .
How to correct the process chain from now?
2) I have aprocess load infopackeage and subsequent process is Delete request in infocube .process load infopackage got failed , so i loaded the IP manually and repeated the next process i.e Delete request in infocube. Chain continued by deleting the right request . How this is possible ?
Plz help me as this is urgent and daily i have to deal with this issues. If any documents on error handling is greatly appreciated.

Errors in monitoring of process chains can be categorized into 4 different sections...
Master data - Full Update
Master data - Delta Update
Transaction data - Full Update
Transaction data - Delta Update.. in terms of loading of data which can be due to server shut down or system maintenance... errors due to incorrect entries in the OLTP system in which case you'll have to fix the errors in the PSA and manually load the data...
Otherwise it can have errors on Attribute change run being locked by some other job... Aggregate Roll up failing because of attribute change run being run at the same time... Problem with hierarchies and save hierarchies...
There can be problems with the data store activation if the ODS object contains any incorrect request sitting inside it... then, you need to delete the incorrect request and reload the data again...
In case of Transaction Delta failure, you'll have to request for a repeat either manually in the infopackage or using the repeat option if available on right clicking the load event...
For Master Data Delta failures, you need to do an Re-init by deleteing the previous initalization condition in the "initalization option for source systems" in the menu scheduler or reschedule the enitre chain... because, master data generally do not support repeat of last delta ...

Receiver File adapter - 'Empty Message Handling' option to ignore not worki

Hi,
I am trying to create the Files in receiver based on condition.But I am gettiung error in communication channel when there is no payload. Receiver I am usuing FCC and processing tab I selected -'Empty Message Handling' option to ignore .
one source -> Target 1 (0..1 occurance in signature tab changed, message mapping and operation mapping)
and Target 2 (0..1 occurance in signature tab changed)
and I put the message type level condition. While creating first message If did not create the Message type in my maaping still my Receiver File communication channel is giving error. even thow I my receiver interface occurance is 0..1
Right now I am in PI7.1 and SP7 is the bug for support pack do I am missing any thing. and do I need to upgrade any nwe patch. appreciate your help.
Regards,
Venu.

Hi,
here is the my requirment one source -> two target interfacess (0..1)
If u have 2 target interfaces,then this is not suffice..... u should make it as 0..unbounded both in operation mapping and message mapping.
But based on ur requirements posted above i guess u have only one inbound interface at a time based on some conditions....
But,
<messages>
<messages1>
based on condition first message type not created in mapping.
<messgaes2>
The error u r getting is because.... u want only one interface in target at a time....
Then u should not generate Message1 also in the target.
So avoid mapping to message1 if u want only message2.
If both message1 and message2 are created in target means... it is triggering for two interfaces.... so avoid one message1 or message2... based on some conditions u have..
Still nt solved do post...

Is there a way to find out that a variant is of type vt_null, without using an error handler?

i am using an persistant ado-recordset. some fields may return a variant of type vt_null (sql-null value).
i want to figure out if a field contains a null or an empty string. when i checked the "view type" at a variant control, i see that labview correctly recognize a null value.
making a compare with "not a refnum/number/..." does not work. checking against a null string also don't work.
i used "variant flatten string" and "flatten string" but there is no difference between a field containing data and a null field (the type string tells me that is a reference to the variant, neither function 'flatten' the refrenced variant)
"varaint to data" results in an error, whe
n used with lv-native datatype and trying to convert a null-value. but the function has to return a variant, so using an error-handler is not an option. (converting variant-null to variant-data does not produce an error)
i also tried to get the "attribute" "value type"; it is not accessable with this function, like "attribute" "value".
is there a way to extract the variant data-type from a variant? or any other soloution to find out that a variant carries a null-value?

Hi,
sorry, i got no idea how to get the datatype of a variant, but there are properties "ActualSize" and "Type" of the ADO Field-Object. In case of an empty field the ActualSize is zero. Maybe you can use that. See VI below.

Error Handling in File to Multiple IDOC Scenario?

Hello Experts,
My scenario is file with Multiple records and I want to send it to SAP system.If there will be 10 Records in my file I need to create 10 IDOC in Target system.
I can use below of the two options.
1) File to Multiple Idoc (1.N Mapping)
2) Using BPM
3)Directly place the file in SAP application server and process it via ABAP Program.
However I am not clear in which option error handling will be more effective.Please suggest.
Basically I want to handle If out of 10 records 9 are correct and 1 record is not correct then I should be able to report within PI without affecting 9 correct records.Is it possible 9 records will be sent to SAP system and PI will only show error for 1 incorrect record.
Also I will be doing this scenrio for transaction data with huge size (1 Million Records).Which approach will be more effective in this case.
Thanks,
Pushkar

Hi Patel,
I want to handle If out of 10 records 9 are correct and 1 record is not correct then I should be able to report within PI without affecting 9 correct records.Is it possible 9 records will be sent to SAP system and PI will only show error for 1 incorrect record.
when working on graphical mapping, the target structure is created when there are no errors in all records of source structure.
suppose if we have validation error in 9th and 10th record, then we can not process the first eight records and inturn we can not store the two error records in XI for further.
i suggest you the third option, you can directly place the file in SAP application server and process it via ABAP Program.
this is far better because you can do more customizations as you have to deal with millions of records.
