Hi,
How can i avoid a complete error in the scenario execution of an interface that use a destination table with a trigger. This trigger has a rule thats validate the input on each insertion.
Tks,

Well, the idea is to use an Oracle cursor. I actually used Oracle Incremental Update (PL SQL) KM because it has the cursor based insert implemented. All we need to do is to add exceptions handling to it:
/* Use of a PL-SQL bloc to perform the Insert (management of LONGS and LOBS etc.) */
declare cursor myCursor is
select      <%=odiRef.getColList("", "[COL_NAME]", ",\n\t", "", "((INS AND (NOT TRG)) AND REW)")%>
     <%=odiRef.getColList(",", "[EXPRESSION]\t[COL_NAME]", ",\n\t", "", "((INS AND TRG) AND REW)")%>
from     <%=odiRef.getTable("L","INT_NAME","W")%>
where     IND_UPDATE = 'I'
begin
     /* Loop over the Cursor and execute the insert statement */
     for aRecord in myCursor loop
begin          insert into      <%=odiRef.getTable("L","TARG_NAME","A")%>
               <%=odiRef.getColList("", "[COL_NAME]", ",\n\t\t\t", "", "((INS AND (NOT TRG)) AND REW)")%>
               <%=odiRef.getColList(",", "[COL_NAME]", ",\n\t\t\t", "", "((INS AND TRG) AND REW)")%>
          values
               <%=odiRef.getColList("", "aRecord.[COL_NAME]", ", \n\t\t\t", "", "((INS AND (NOT TRG)) AND REW)")%>
               <%=odiRef.getColList(",", "aRecord.[COL_NAME]", ", \n\t\t\t", "", "((INS AND TRG) AND REW)")%>
exception
when others then
insert into <error table name with schema>  values(aRecord.<primary key of the rejected record>);
end;     end loop;
end;
Please note, I used this only for error analysis and as soon as I figured out what was happening, I designed a set based error isolation procedure. So my exception handling was just storing primary keys of the rejected rows. You are welcome to process your exceptions according to your needs.
By the way, if your errors are raised by a trigger, you may find an error message that the trigger sends in the ODI error message for the failed step.
