Have you read the on-line help and/or the manual entry for the Exception Handler?
Essentially it's a "listener" that sits on your design canvas and can initiate an action, or series of actions, if an "exception" occurs. A child job aborting is an example of an exception. You might, for example, cause a Notification Activity to be invoked by the Exception Handler to notify you by email that the exception has occurred.

I have also tried to use the Exception handler in the sequncer , but it's giving me compilation error "This job has no start points defined".
As suggested by Ray above, I have created a sequencer in which first activity is the exception handler which triggers the notification activity by sending mail. But I am not able to compile the same.
Any inputs on this ??

As noted by the compiler error you received, this stage (and anything hooked to it) cannot stand alone.
The Exception Handler is not the 'first activity', more like a last one. Your sequence job needs to contain a 'normal' (for lack of a better word) series of Server Jobs and/or other Stages that it runs in addition to the Exception Handler series you mention. They will only run if something goes wrong with your normal series of jobs. And unless you are running 7.1 the definition of 'goes wrong' that it handles is fairly limited, so it pays to read the documentation on it.
