By default, when an error occurs, the task is skipped and the unmodified job file is passed on to
the next task. You can overwrite this behavior by changing the options of the On Error tab of
the process - which sets the default error handling behavior for all the tasks in that process - or
of an individual task.
Using the On Error tab
Whenever an error is triggered either during debugging or when a process runs in production,
the settings specified in the On Error tab of the task that generated the error will be used to
determine a course of action.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks and processes. It can be found in the Task Properties
Dialog.
By default, any Action task, Branch, Splitter or Condition that generates an error will simply be
ignored, and the task just under it (not within a branch) will be given control of the job file
without any modification. Any initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from
running as a whole, and Output tasks will not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to
overwrite the default behaviors.
l
Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l
Error Process drop-down: Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked.
Lists any process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
l
Action: In the initial input tasks, this group is disabled and defaults to Stop Process. In
all other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
l
Default: By default, the task is ignored as if it did not exist and the error is logged
before continuing the branch or process; the job file is passed on to the next task in
the process. When an error occurs in a loop (or in a plugin that acts like a loop), the
loop may log the error, terminate the current iteration and proceed with the next
iteration.
l
Stop Branch: If the task is in a branch of the process, the branch is stopped and the
job file is returned to the process after the branch. The branch will not produce any
output. If the task is not on a branch, the entire process will be stopped.
l
Stop Process: The process is stopped and no more processing is done. No further
output is produced.
