I would suggest you read the documentation and get some training before asking such basic questions.

Malaq, with all due respect I believe that Janhess has a point - and this shows in the lack of responses you have received. Though we are all happy to help, anyone using these boards should treat this as a site to obtain assistance on specific issues, and not as a training site.

Your project manager should arrange a short course for you on WTX. They are getting off cheap by expecting you to take this on otherwise. The questions you ask can be covered in the Introduction course. Within a week you will then be able to better understand the basic concepts and to correlate these to your given situation, at which point you can raise more in-depth questions on this forum.

For your information, exceptions are what they are in any other code/development application. They are simply error situations that you can deal with in your maps. For example, you are trying to output a message to a MQ queue; what would you do if that failed? Would you raise an alert, retry the connection attempt, or output the message to a another location? Exceptions can occur (and be managed) in numerous places, depending on your design.

Good luck.

You really need to read the documentation on map design 1005.pdf in the docs folder. It depends on what you want to know about exceptions. failures give a result code and they can be trapped using the VALID function and depending on what you want to do you can combine it with the FAIL function to stop the map or something else if you don't want to stop the map.

As suggested by TarunB it could be things like

failure to put message on MQ or

failure to insert rows/multiple inserts into d/b table/s or (can be handled by using the scope setting in MAP)

erroneous data in the i/p. You will have to use restart & reject & trap the data & still continue map processing.

the topic is quite vast. What is the scenario that you are trying to address ? Are you trying to manage the invalid data ? let us know in detail & somebody might be able to help.

There is a tutorial shipped with the package that I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn DSTX. It took me about 2 weeks when I was a novice, but of course, you don’t have to learn the entire thing, or do it in such detail as I did. Any sort of developer should be able to go through it pretty well in a two week period.
