Table 1. Exception Monitor Options

Option Name

Description

Disable exception monitor Turns Exception Monitor on or off. If you disable Exception Monitor, records will simply pass through the stage and no action will be taken. This is similar in effect to removing Exception Monitor from the dataflow.
Stop job after reaching exception limit Specifies whether to halt job execution when the specified number of records meet the exception conditions.
Maximum number of exception records If Stop job after reaching exception limit is selected, use this field to specify the maximum number of exception records to allow before halting job execution. For example, if you specify 100, the job will stop once the 101st exception record is encountered.
Report only (do not create exceptions)

Enables you to track records that meet exception conditions and reports those statistics on the Data Quality Performance page in the Business Steward Portal, but does not create exceptions for those records.

Return all records in exception's group

Specifies whether to return all records belonging to an exception record's group instead of just the exception record. For example, a match group (based on a MatchKey) contains four records. One is the Suspect record, one is a duplicate that scored 90, and two are unique records that scored 80 and 83. If you have a condition that says that any record with a MatchScore between 80 and 89 is an exception, by default just the records with a match score of 80 and 83 would be sent to the exception port. However, if you enable this option, all four records would be sent to the exception port.

Enable this option if you want data stewards to be able to compare the exception record to the other records in the group. By comparing all the records in the group, data stewards may be able to make more informed decisions about what to do with an exception record. For example, in a matching situation a data steward could see all candidates to determine if the exception is a duplicate of the others.
Note:

If the input data does not contain a field called "CollectionNumber" this option will be disabled.

Group by If you selected Return all records in exception's group, choose the field by which to group the records.
Note: The "CollectionNumber" input field will not appear in this list because it is not a valid selection for the Group by feature.
Revalidation service Select the service you want to run when you revalidate records from this dataflow.
Action after revalidation Specifies whether you want to reprocess records or approve records that have been revalidated.
Match exception records using match field Uses match fields to match input records against exception records in the repository. Enable this option if your input contains records that previously generated exceptions but are now corrected in the input.

The input records will be evaluated against the condition(s) and then matched against the existing exception records in the repository. If an input record passes the condition(s) and matches an exception record, that exception record will be removed from the repository. If an input record does not pass the condition(s) and matches an exception record, that exception record will be updated and retained in the repository. Additionally, if duplicates exist in the repository, only one matched exception per dataflow will be updated; all others for that dataflow will be deleted.

Match fields Provides a list of all input fields used to build a key to match an exception record in the repository. You must define at least one match field if you checked the Match exception records using match fields box.
