Adapter Module: ExceptionCatcherBean

Adapter Module: ExceptionCatcherBean

Use

When a database error occurs in a synchronous proxy-to-jdbc scenario, the error information is not transferred back to the sender system. And unless the end user has access to SAP PI monitors, she/he only receives a PARSING GENERAL exception without any other information.

You use ExceptionCatcherBean module to wrap CallSAPAdapter module execution to catch any module exception to generate a new ModuleException object with error information.

All the information is then transferred back to the sender system.

Deployment

Enterprise Java Bean Project: ExceptionCatcher-ejb

Enterprise Java Bean Application: ExceptionCatcher-ear

Integration

The module can be used in any Sender Adapter.

Activities

This section describes all the activities that have to be carried out in order to configure the module.

Entries in processing sequence

Remove CallSAPAdapter module and insert ExceptionCatcherBean as shown in the picture below.

Entries in the module configuration

The adapter module doesn’t expect any parameter.

Audit Log

The execution process can be followed in the audit log generated per message.
