Options

The Read Exceptions stage has the following options.

General Tab

The options on the General tab specify which exception records you want to read into the dataflow.

The Filter options allow you to select a subset of records from the exception repository using these criteria:

• User: The user who ran the dataflow that generated the exceptions you want to read into the dataflow.
• Dataflow name: The name of the dataflow that generated the exceptions you want to read into the dataflow.
• Stage label: The Exception Monitor stage's label as shown in the dataflow in Enterprise Designer. This criteria is useful if the dataflow that generated the exceptions contains multiple Exception Monitor stages and you only want to read in the exceptions from one of those Exception Monitor stages.
• From date: The date and time of the oldest records that you want to read into the dataflow. The date of an exception record is the date it was last modified.
• To date: The date and time of the newest records that you want to read into the dataflow. The date of an exception record is the date it was last modified.

The Fields listing shows the fields that will be read into the dataflow. By default all fields are included, but you can exclude fields by clearing the check box in the Include column.

The Preview listing shows the records that meet the criteria you specified under Filter.

Sort Tab

Use the Sort tab to sort the input records based on field values.

• Add: Adds a field to sort on.
• Field Name column: Shows the name of the field to sort on. You can select a field by clicking the drop-down button.
• Order column: specifies whether to sort in ascending or descending order.
• Up and Down: Changes the order of the sort. Records are sorted first by the field at the top of the list, then by the second, and so on.
• Remove: Removes a sort field.

Runtime Tab

• Starting record: Specify the position in the repository of the first record you want to read into the dataflow. For example, if you want to skip the first 99 records in the repository, you would specify 100. The 100th record would be the first one read into the repository if it matches the criteria specified on the General tab. A record's position is determined by the order of the records in the Business Steward Portal.
• All records: Select this option if you want to read in all records that match the search criteria specified on the General tab.
• Max records: Select this option if you want to limit the number of records read in to the dataflow. For example, if you only want to read in the first 1,000 records that match the selection criteria, select this option and specify 1000.
