Viewing UMF exceptions

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:
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:
  1. Click the Status button.
  2. Click the UMF Exceptions button.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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:
What to do next:
You can take a closer look at the details of an UMF exception by clicking on it. The information displayed is what was logged about the exception when it occurred.
