UMF exceptions indicate problems with incoming data being processed
by a pipeline. They occur when the structure of the incoming data cannot be
parsed. Typically, UMF exceptions do not contribute to the pipeline error
limit count, so the system logs the UMF exception and the pipeline usually
continues processing. This information can help you troubleshoot incoming
data for a particular pipeline.
Before you begin:
- The pipeline must be registered on the Pipelines tab
on the Configuration Console.
- The pipeline must have been started on the pipeline node registered on Pipelines tab
using the registered pipeline name as displayed on Pipelines tab.
About this task:
If the pipeline is registered on the Pipelines tab
in the Configuration Console, you can view current or historical UMF exceptions
on the UMF Exceptions tab in the Configuration Console.
Procedure:
- Click the Status button.
- Click the UMF Exceptions button.
- Optional: In the From Date field,
type the starting date in mm/dd/yyyy format that you want to see UMF exceptions
for. If you leave this field blank, the system displays all UMF
exceptions since the first operational system date that meet the other specified
criteria. If you type a date in this field, you do not have to type a date
in the Thru Date field.
- Optional: In the Thru Date field,
type the ending date in mm/dd/yyyy format that you want to see UMF exceptions
for. If you leave this field blank, the system displays all UMF
exceptions through today's date that meet the other specified criteria. If
you type a date in this field, you do not have to type a date in the From
Date field.
- Optional: In the From Pipeline field,
type the registered name of the specific pipeline you want to see UMF exceptions
for. If you leave this field blank, the system displays all UMF
exceptions for all pipelines by registered name that meet the other specified
criteria.
- Optional: From the Max Count drop-down
list, select the maximum number of UMF exceptions to display. The
system displays only up to and including that number of UMF exceptions that
meet all other specified criteria. If there are more exceptions than the number
specified, the system does not display them. If there are fewer exceptions
than the number specified, all application monitor events that meet all other
specified criteria display.
- Required: Click the Search button.
For example, if you want to see the last 50 UMF exceptions that occurred
today for pipeline08, you would specify the following criteria:
- In the From Date field, you would type today's
date.
- In the Thru Date field, you would type today's
date.
- In the From Node field, you would type pipeline08.
- In the Max Count field, you would select 50.

clicking on it. The information displayed is what was logged about the exception
when it occurred.
