Where to split group
l
Pages or records: Enter exactly where to split the file. Enter 1 to split the file
1 page or record before or after the string, 2 to split the file 2 pages or records
before or after the string, or 0 to split the file immediately before or after the
string.
l
Before or after: In the previous box, you entered where you wanted to split
the file. Here is where you specify whether you want the Generic Splitter to
split the file X number of pages or records before or after the string. Choose 5
in the Pages or records box and “Records after” in this box, for example, to
split the file 5 records after the record that matches the condition.
l
Split when condition found: You may not want to split the file every time the string
of characters changes, but only every other time, or every third time. If so, enter the
number of times in this box.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page777.
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.
