Why Exception Handling

Hello All,
I am new to PL/SQL and have this question.
Why do we need exception handling? If some error occurs dont we want to stop execution of program so that we can see the error in the host environment or have it logged in an error table or written in a file before we correct the error and re-run the application. I am not able to clearly see why? Please help understand this.
Thank you for time!

Thank you for time!Exception handling lets the designed/developer choose how exceptions should be handled.
Some exceptions may be expected under certain circumstances such as e.g. NO_DATA_FOUND, and you may want the application to continue processing regardless or continue processing in a different way if that condition is encountered. Other exceptions may require that some previous actions are reversed or rolled back on the database, so capturing them and dealing with that business process can be useful, before the exception is raised back to the calling code/application. Any exceptions that aren't expected and handled, should be RAISEd so that the calling code has the choice to deal with them or RAISE them further up until it get's to a stage where it is handled or the application itself reports the exception to the user.
Capturing exceptions can of course be useful if you need to log any that occur as you can capture it, store information about it in a table/log file and then raise it to be handled or raised again as necessary.
What is an absolute no-no in design and development terms is to include a WHEN OTHERS exception that does not raise the exception or notify the calling code/user in some way. This simply masks any exceptions that occur, especially the ones that are not expected, which are of course the ones that you really need to know about so you can fix the underlying issues.

  • Step repeated in Exception branch requires exception handler, why?

    I have a BPM Integration process with a sync send step calling a RFC. Any system errors and application errors are handled by an exception branch where I send an alert as then re-do the send step (so that it will fail but allow me to restart from that point after fixing the issue). The problem I am having is that in this send step, since it is mandatory to have an exception handler for application errors (defined fault message RFC.Exception), what do I enter for exception handler in this send step which is itself in an exception branch? I do not want to handle the exception this second time since I want this step to fail and process stops here to be able to restart manually later.

    Hi,
    I am not sure, how you will restart the step manually? Because once there is an error in the sync send, the message will turn to "Cancelled" status. You cannot restart this message.
    Now, for the second send step in the exception block you will not be able to choose the same exception block in the exception handler field. But for some reason if this send also fails then you cannot restart the process manually - same reason i mentioned above. It will fail as you intended it to do so.

  • Exception handling is not working in GCC compile shared object

    Hello,
    I am facing very strange issue on Solaris x86_64 platform with C++ code compiled usging gcc.3.4.3.
    I have compiled shared object that load into web server process space while initialization. Whenever any exception generate in code base, it is not being caught by exception handler.

    At line 86, we are just throwing simple exception which have catch handlers in place. Also we do have catch(...) handler as well.
    Surpursing things are..same issue didn't observe if we make it as executable.
    Issue only comes if this is shared object loaded on webserver. If this is plain shared object, opened by anyother exe, it works fine.
    Can someone help me out. This is completly blocking issue for us. Using Solaris Sun Studio compiler is no option as of now.

    shared object that load into web server process space
    ... same issue didn't observe if we make it as executable.When you "inject" your shared object into some other process a well-being of your exception handling depends on that other process.
    Mechanics of x64 stack traversing (unwind) performed when you throw the exception is quite complicated,
    particularly involving a "nearly-standartized" Unwind interface (say, Unwind_RaiseException).
    When we are talking about g++ on Solaris there are two implementations of unwind interface, one in libc and one in libgcc_s.so.
    When you g++-compile the executable you get it directly linked with libgcc_s.so and Unwind stuff resolves into libgccs.
    When g++-compiled shared object is loaded into non-g++-compiled executable's process _Unwind calls are most likely already resolved into Solaris libc.
    Thats why you might see the difference.
    Now, what exactly causes this difference can vary, I can only speculate.
    All that would not be a problem if _Unwind interface was completely standartized and properly implemented.
    However there are two issues currently:
    * gcc (libstdc++ in particular) happens to use additional non-standard _Unwind calls which are not present in Solaris libc
    naturally, implementation details of Unwind implementation in libc differs to that of libgccs, so when all the standard _Unwind
    routines are resolved into Solaris version and one non-standard _Unwind routine is resolved into gcc version you get a problem
    (most likely that is what happens with you)
    * libc Unwind sometimes is unable to decipher the code generated by gcc.
    However that is likely to happen with modern gcc (say, 4.4+) and not that likely with 3.4.3
    Btw, you can check your call frame to see where _Unwind calls come from:
    where -h -lIf you indeed stomped on "mixed _Unwind" problem then the only chance for you is to play with linker
    so it binds Unwind stuff from your library directly into libgccs.
    Not tried it myself though.

  • Exception handling to catch the outcome of a select

    Hello,
    I want to use exception handling to exit me out of a function module.  I want to have one exception for all errors.
    For example, if this select statement does not work, how do I finish up this code to make it work.
    error type cx_bsx
    try
    select * from t001 where BUKRS = '!@#$'
    catch <not sure what> into INTO error
    raise exception error
    endtry.
    When I use cx_bsx with the catch, nothing happens even though the select statement fails. Basically I want the catch to work in the same manner as this:
    if sy-subrc ne 0.
    raise error_table_read.
    endif.

    If this code is in a function module, then why not just use the function  module exceptions.
    if sy-subrc ne 0.
    raise error_table_read.
    endif.
    What are you gaining by "catching" this exception in the function module.  By using the "exceptions" part of the function module, you are passing this exception back to the calling program.

  • ADF Task Flow Exception Handling

    Hi ,
    I tried a very simple thing for taskFlow exception handling.
    I created a bounded task flow with a page fragment (View1.jsff) and another view which is the TaskFlow ExceptionHandler (error.jsff).
    The view1.jsff has a button whose action is bound to the backing bean. In the backingBean method I deliberately do division by 0.
    Since this is an unHandled exception, I would have expected the control to come to error.jsff. But, instead I am shown a pop up box with the error message.
    Why is the control not getting redirected to error.jsff ?
    Thanks.
    S.Srivatsa Sivan

    Hi Frank , im having the same problem.
    I want to handle exceptions that occur while navigating task flows (example: A user navigates to a task flow that he/she does not have view permission)
    I tried using a view activity and method activity as the exception handler but none of them works, the exception is still not handles. It does not even navigate to the exception handler on the task flow.
    on the view page i have:
    <af:panelStretchLayout topHeight="50px" id="psl1">
    <f:facet name="top">
    <af:panelGroupLayout layout="scroll"
    xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich"
    id="pgl1">
    Error message:  
    <af:outputText value="#{controllerContext.currentRootViewPort.exceptionData.message}" id="ot2"/>
    </af:panelGroupLayout>
    </f:facet>
    <f:facet name="center">
    <af:outputText value="#{my_exception_Handler.stackTrace}" id="ot1"/>
    <!-- id="af_one_column_header_stretched" -->
    </f:facet>
    </af:panelStretchLayout>
    I tried getting the error message and stacktrace from the controllerContext via EL like this "#{controllerContext.currentRootViewPort.exceptionData.message}"
    and from the controllerContext class in functions that i have declared in my_exception_Handler class like this
    " ControllerContext ctx = ControllerContext.getInstance();
    ViewPortContext vCtx = ctx.getCurrentViewPort();
    if(vCtx.getExceptionData() != null){
    StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
    PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(stringWriter);
    vCtx.getExceptionData().printStackTrace(printWriter);
    return stringWriter.toString();"
    But all this dont even matter because when the exception occurs on the task flow it does not navigate to the default exception handler.
    thanks for your interest and help in advance.

  • Exception handling framework?

    Can anyone recommend an exception handling framework or perhaps pattern for Applets?
    Thanks, Tom.

    Methinks you're gonna be stuck. Unless every catch block already happens to call some central method (or small set of methods) and passes in the exception, there is no way I can think of to "flip a switch" and magically have all your catch blocks start logging messages when they weren't before. You'll probably have to change the code every place you want to log something. This is why it's a great idea to think of those sorts of things before coding a huge application. :-) I'm not criticizing you since it sounds like you inherited this.

  • Exception Handling and Stack Traces in JDK 1.1.8

    Hi,
    I'm presently maintain and upgrading a Web-Objects 4.5 application that uses the JDK 1.18. There are two constantly recurring exceptions that keep getting thrown, exceptions for which there are no stack traces. These are exceptions thrown by methods that do not presently have throws or try/catch code associated with them.
    My questions are:
    1) Why are there no stack traces available? Is it because the exception handling code is not there, or could there be another reason?
    2) Will the inclusion of exception-handling code ALWAYS lead to stack traces and messages becoming available (if I put a e.printStackTrace() in my catch(Excetion e) clause), or will there be situations where it will not be available?
    3) What is the best way for me to handle these types of exceptions in order to gain the most information possible about their root causes and possible solutions?
    Thanks for your help.

    I have never seen a case where there was no stack trace.
    I have seen cases where the stack trace does not provide line numbers. I have also seen cases where it is less than useful as it terminates on a native call (which is to be expected.)
    However, if you don't call printStackTrace() then you don't get it. And if you catch an exception an throw a different one you also loose information. So you might want to check those possibilities.

  • Exception Handling in ADF 10g

    Hi everybody,
    I want to develop an application and need exception handling.
    I have a helper application that contains this classes:
    MyADFPhaseListener extends ADFPhaseListener that return this: return new MyFacesPageLifecycle(),
    MyErrorHandler extends DCErrorHandlerImpl,
    MyFacesPageLifecycle extends FacesPageLifecycle that contain this methods:
    prepareModel(LifecycleContext ctx) that set my errorhandler with this: ctx.getBindingContext().setErrorHandler(new MyErrorHandler(true));
    and
    reportErrors(PageLifecycleContext ctx){
    DCBindingContainer bc = (DCBindingContainer)ctx.getBindingContainer();
    if (bc != null) {
    ArrayList<Exception> exceptions =new ArrayList<Exception>();
    exceptions = bc.getExceptionsList();
    if (exceptions != null) {
    /*handle exceptions*/
    My problem is here:
    when throw an exception in my app like this: throw new JboException("Don't do that.", "101", null);
    after create pagelifecycle and calling prepareModel(), reporterros() dose not call....!!!
    why?
    Edited by: 859070 on May 15, 2011 9:35 PM

    when click a button and call action of this button.
    please note:
    My helper application and main application are apart. I deploy helper application to jar file and use this jar file in main application.
    Maybe exceptions don`t send to reportErrors() method in MyPageLifeCycle class, because i create a test class like this:
    public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
    ArrayList<Exception> exss = new ArrayList<Exception>();
    exss.add(new JboException("A fatal exception is occurred",
    "103", null));
    exss.add(new NullPointerException());
    exss.add(new SQLException());
    MyFacesPageLifecycle efpl =new MyFacesPageLifecycle();
    efpl.errorReporter(exss);
    Body of errorReporter(ArrayList<Exception>) method is like reportErrors(PageLifecycleContext) just parameter is different.
    public void errorReporter(ArrayList<Exception> excs) {
    if (excs != null) {
    for (Exception exception: excs) {
    if(exception instanceof JboException){
    System.out.println("JBOException is occurred here: "+exception.getMessage());
    else if(exception instanceof SQLException){
    System.out.println("SQLException is occurred here");
    else if(exception instanceof NullPointerException){
    System.out.println("NullPointerException is occurred here");
    else{
    and this handle exceptions list. My opinion is that exceptions between different applications(helper and main) are lost. is this correct?

  • BPM - Exception handling in multiline mapping

    Hi,
    I have in a BPM a block with processing mode ParForEach containing a transformation and then a send step.
    If the transformation (mapping) generates an exception for one of the lines of the multiline variable being processed, no subsequent lines are passed to the send step.
    I want the process to execute the mapping for each line and then send messages corresponding to lines without error. How can I do?
    Thank you
    Simona

    Hi Simona,
    I also feel that Michal had suggested the correct solution. Not sure why you are saying that the error gets propagated, if you have defined a proper Exception handling for the inner block.
    But regarding your design for "ParForEach", I am not sure whether you really need to carry out a transformation step for each Block instance, in which case you can keep the transformation step before the "ParForEach" block.

  • Removing Exception Handling Causes Compiler Error

    I am very new to Java. I have a background in other programming languages including Ruby. I am in need of a convenient means to parse XML code. I picked up the code shown at the end of this message on the Internet. In its original form, it works perfectly. I experimented by trying to comment out the try block as you can see. I was surprised to find that in that form it wouldn't compile. In essence, I thought what I was doing was simply removing exception handling. I figured that since the code worked and there were no exceptions being thrown, it would work just fine for experimentation purposes. (I understand that I would not want to do this in production mode.) Can someone please explain to me why removing the exception handling causes the program to fail to compile?
    Thanks for any input.

    I figured that since the code worked and there were no exceptions being thrown, it would work just fine for experimentation purposes. The compiler doesn't know that your code works. It only knows that some method you call can throw some checked exception, and it requires you to catch it or declare that you don't.

  • Exception handling with fault message type not working

    Hi,
    I have a sync proxy to proxy scenario and I have created a fault MT and specified in the outbound and Inbound service interface...
    *In Inbound proxy I have the following code--*......
    RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE z_cx_test_fault
    EXPORTING
    standard = l_standard_data.
    In the sender side abap code which calls the outbound proxy I have the follwing code -
    CATCH cx_ai_system_fault INTO lo_cx_ai_system_fault.
    txt = lo_cx_ai_system_fault->get_text( ).
    WRITE txt.
    CATCH z_cx_test_fault INTO lo_cx_test_fault.
    txt = lo_cx_standard_message_fault->get_text( ).
    WRITE txt.
    CATCH cx_ai_application_fault INTO lo_cx_ai_application_fault.
    txt = lo_cx_ai_application_fault->get_text( ).
    WRITE txt.
    when i test the inbound proxy separately I get the custom fault message properly...
    however when i run the proxy to proxy sync scenario and the custom exceptionz_cx_test_fault  is raised inside the receiver proxy .......control goes to CATCH cx_ai_application_fault    and not CATCH  z_cx_test_fault .
    I understand that cx_ai_application_fault is the super class of all the exception class but why does control go to its exception handling when a custom exception is raised...

    Hi
    I tried changing the sequence also but it did not work...
    I can see an appropriate response coming from the receiver in SXMB_MONI of PI...this response has the "fault response "
    "fault detail" data that I want.....however when the control goes to the sender why does it go to CATCH CX_AI_APPLICATION_FAULT and not not my CATCH z_cx_test_fault .
    My observation - If I change the scenario to SOAP to Proxy sync..then the sender SOAP client gets the appropriate custom fault message back.

    ok I didn't know that. I will wait for tomorrow.
    NI france is not very efficient about labview Real time problems. 
    There is one or two experts and there aren't easily reachable.
    So a lot of question I send stay with no answer.....
    That why I hope someone will be able to help me.
    Hi Julesjay,
    After i have see your log file and the problem, i think NI FRANCE are working on your request for all problems you have in your application.
    And i don't understand what you say that, because we have make test, we have send us informations for make different tests, and we are still working on your problem.
    I know the problem are not resolved, but we are working for resolve it quickly.
    I suggested you to contact the AE that are your service request for have more information.
    Best regards,

  • Exception handler activity doesn't execute

    I have an exception handler in my bounded task flow but it not always executes when an error is raised by some of the BTF activities.
    In my application I'm having a problem with connections closed.
    I don't know if the database, the firewall or who is closing connections but sometimes I get an error in the logs "oracle.jbo.JboException: JBO-29000: Se ha obtenido una excepción inesperada: java.sql.SQLRecoverableException, mensaje=Conexión cerrada" translation "oracle.jbo.JboException: JBO-29000: Un unexpected exception has been raised: java.sql.SQLRecoverableException, message=Closed connection".
    That is bothering me specially because my task flow continues execution despite of the error. ADF opens the connection and then continues execution. This is fatal because previous updating in the entity objects is lost and the consequence is very bad.
    Well, I have tried to insert an exception handler in my task flow in order to capture this errors and then stop execution of the task flow.
    Currently, I'm more upset because of task flow continues execution after the connection closed error that for the error itself.
    The problem is that sometimes the connection closed appears in the log window but the exception handler is not executed. Sometimes yes, some others no.
    In order to test I'm forcing the error manually killing the sessions in the server.
    Any help for any of both problems ? (1- BTF continuing execution after this error raising and 2-Why the exception handler doesn't always execute when a java error stack appears in the log window).
    Thank you.

    this might be caused by a bug I found too causing eventhandlers not to work, the work round in your case would be:
    blar blar blar
    </variables>
    <!-- start work round --><scope><!-- end work round -->
    <faultHandlers>
    blar blar blar
    blar blar blar
    </sequence>
    <!-- start work round --></scope><!-- end work round -->
    </process>
    i.e. what I'm saying is that top level handler don't work since they are ignored by the engine because they are not in a scope. Try it and see....
