Output

The Read Exceptions stage has a primary Output port and an optional History port.

Output port

The primary Output port returns records from the Data Stewardship repository that have resolved status and that match the selection criteria specified in the Read Exception options. In addition to the record fields, Read Exceptions returns the following fields that describe the last modifications made to the record in the Data Stewardship Portal.

Table 1. Read Exceptions Output

Field Name

Description

Exception.Comment

Any comments entered by the person who resolved the exception. For example, comments might describe the modifications that the Data Stewardship made to the record.

Exception.LastModifiedBy

The last user to modify the record in the Data Stewardship Portal

Exception.LastModifiedMilliseconds

The time that the record was last modified in the Data Stewardship Portal. The time is expressed in milliseconds since January 1, 1970 0:00 GMT. This is the standard way of calculating time in the Java programming language. You can use this value to perform date comparisons, or to create a transform to convert this value to whatever date format you want.

Exception.LastModifiedString

The time that the record was last modified in the Data Stewardship Portal. This field provides a more understandable representation of the date than the Exception.LastModifiedMilliseconds field. The time is expressed in this format:

Thu Feb 17 13:34:32 CST 2011

History port

The optional history port streams all versions of records. History records are typically used to assemble change logs.
