Exception handler clarification

[zulfi123786]

Below is and excerpt from Designer Guide:

Code: Select all

"An exception activity handles the situation where a job in the sequence fails to run
(other exceptions in the job sequence are handled by triggers)."

I have a question regarding "Fails to run" , does it mean the exception handler is triggered when the job is invoked but did not run as in the job is not compiled or is in aborted state or job does not exist etc OR does it mean the exception handler is triggered even in cases where the job start running but gets aborted (cases like file missing etc) assuming my job activity stages have no failed trigger or Executed ok with otherwise trigger. ?

I am not happy to keep a failed trigger for each job activity stage calling a common routine activity and wonder if they can be replaced with an exception handler calling the common routine (each job has only execute OK trigger).

Thanks

Yes. And (as noted) only in those circumstances.
