How to define connection settings of a Route
You can display the properties of a connection by selecting it and clicking the Component view tab, or by right-clicking the connection and selecting Settings from the contextual menu. This section summarizes connection property settings.
Catch connection settings
About this task
You can set a Catch link to catch the exception thrown by the try link of the cTry component.
Procedure
-
In the Exceptions field, type in the
name of the exception class that is likely to occur in the try routing. If you type in
java.lang.Exception.class, mother of all
exceptions, any exception will be caught. But you can try to fine-tune the
exception generated by specifying a more precise exception class.
Results
When executing your Route, if an exception occurs in routing following a try link, it will be caught by the catch link corresponding better to the exception. For more information, see Row connection.
When connection settings
About this task
You can set a When link to filter messages according to a condition and route those filtered messages:
Procedure
-
In the Condition field, type in the
condition you want to use to filter your messages.
Results
When executing your Route, messages matching the condition defined in the when link will be passed to the following component and messages not matching it can either be lost or retrieved via an otherwise link. For more information, see Catch connection settings and for a scenario using those links, see Talend Components documentation.
