UMF Exceptions tab

Use this tab to view the UMF exceptions logged from the data loaded by the pipelines registered for application monitoring. First, you generate an on-screen report of UMF exceptions to view. Then you can select a specific UMF exception and take a closer look at its details; this information may be helpful in resolving the UMF exceptions in the data files. Once you resolve one of these errors, you can safely reprocess the corrected records in that file.

UMF exceptions are data-driven errors. They occur when there are problems with the UMF data structure in an incoming data source file being processed by a pipeline. By default, UMF exceptions do not contribute to the error limit count for the pipeline (set in the pipeline configuration file); so by themselves, UMF exceptions typically do not shut down the pipeline. You can find a full listing of UMF exceptions in the UMF_EXCEPT table or in the pipeline_name.msg log, even UMF exceptions for pipelines that are not registered for application monitoring.

On-screen report criteria
Use these fields to specify the criteria for the on-screen UMF exceptions report. Once you specify the criteria, click the Search button to generate the report.
From Date
Starting date to report on UMF exceptions within the other criteria specified. (This field is optional and can be blank. Leaving the field blank means display UMF exceptions starting with the first day the system became operational within the other criteria specified.)
This field defaults to today's date. Type the date using the mm/dd/yyyy format.
Thru Date
Ending date to report on UMF exceptions within the other criteria specified. (This field is optional and can be blank. Leaving the field blank means display UMF exceptions through today within the other criteria specified. )
This field defaults to today's date. Type the date using the mm/dd/yyyy format.
From Node
Name of the registered pipeline to view UMF exceptions for. (This field is optional and can be blank. Leaving the field blank means display UMF exceptions for all registered pipelines within the other criteria specified.)
Keep in mind that you can only see UMF exceptions on this tab for pipelines that are registered for application monitoring. If you want to see all UMF exceptions, refer to the UMF_EXCEPT table or the pipeline_name.msg log.
Data Source Code
Data source code (exact) to view UMF exceptions for. (This field is optional and can be blank. Leaving the field blank means display UMF exceptions for all data sources within the other criteria specified.)
Max Count
Drop-down list containing options for the maximum number of UMF exceptions to display within the other criteria specified. Only the number of UMF exceptions up to and including the maximum number display on-screen. If there are more UMF exceptions that meet the criteria, the system does not display them.
Search button
By clicking this button, the system executes the search - it finds and display all records matching the criteria entered.
On-screen report results display
This section of the window displays the on-screen UMF exceptions report, based on the criteria you entered. The list is sorted by UMF ID number.
UMF ID
Displays the sequential, system-assigned number associated with this UMF exception. The UMF ID maps directly to the UMF_EXCEPT table, where UMF exceptions are logged.
From Pipeline
Displays the name of the pipeline that was processing the record when the UMF exception occurred.
Created On
Displays the date that the UMF exception occurred.
Output Document
Displays the type of UMF output document associated with this UMF exception.
Data Source Code
Displays the data source code associated with the incoming data file where the UMF exception occurred.
External Reference
Displays the external reference for the specific data record where the UMF exception occurred. This information can help pinpoint the record inside the data file that needs to be corrected.
Action
Displays the action associated with the incoming data record where the UMF exception occurred. (This action is coded into the UMF for the data record.)
  • A: Add
