Using Exception Handling

1. Open the Load Plan Editor:
• Navigate to the Steps tab of the Load Plan Editor.
2. Select the Step:
• In the Steps Hierarchy table, select the step for which you want to define exception behavior.
• The Property Inspector will display the properties of the selected step.
3. Set Parameters in Exception Handling Section:
• In the Exception Handling section of the Property Inspector, configure the following parameters:
• Timeout (s):
• Enter the maximum time (in seconds) that the step is allowed to run before it is aborted.
• When the timeout is reached, the step will be marked as error and the associated Exception step (if defined) will be executed.
• Note: The exception step itself will not time out. If needed, set a timeout on a parent step to prevent long-running situations.
• A zero (0) timeout means infinite timeout (no timeout limit).
• Exception Step:
• From the list, select the Exception step to execute if this step fails.
• Only exception steps defined in the Exceptions tab of the Load Plan Editor will appear in this list.
• If no exception step is selected, the default behavior will apply (i.e., no exception handling).
• Exception Behavior:
• Choose how the step behaves when an exception occurs:
• Run Exception and Raise: Executes the exception step (if any) and raises the exception to the parent step, causing the parent to fail.
• Run Exception and Ignore: Executes the exception step (if any) but ignores the failure, notifying the parent step of a successful run. If the exception step fails, the parent step will be notified of the failure.
4. Configure Exception Handling for Parallel Steps (if applicable):
• For Parallel steps, the following additional parameters can be set:
• Max Error Child Count: Defines the maximum number of child steps that can fail before the parallel step itself is considered failed.
• If the number of failed child steps exceeds this value, the parallel step is marked as failed.
• Based on the Restart Type configuration, the behavior differs:
• Restart from failed children: The Load Plan waits for all child sessions (both running and waiting to be executed) to complete before raising the error to the parent step.
• Restart all children: The Load Plan stops all running child sessions and does not start new ones before raising the error to the parent.
